Mni Wiconi: Water Is Life
Filmmakers: Michael Genz & Jeremias Galante
USA | 2018 | 3 min | Canadian Premiere

A short film on the environment and how the fossil fuel industry is affecting climate change. It’s a black and white hand-drawn film dedicated to Standing Rock Sioux Tribe Dakota Territory. The main theme is about the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL). The intention of the film is to create social awareness regarding the contamination of natural resources.


And That Is How The Rivers Came To Be
Filmmakers: Miguel Araoz Cartagena & Stephanie Boyd
PERU | 2019 | 3 min

This animation takes us back in time to the moment when a mighty Kukama God created the Amazon's rivers with his bow and arrow.


The Condor And The Eagle
Filmmakers: Sophie & Clement Guerra
USA | 2019 | 79 min

Four Indigenous leaders embark on an extraordinary trans-continental adventure from the Canadian Boreal forests to deep into the heart of the Amazonian jungle to unite the peoples of North and South America and deepen the meaning of “Climate Justice”. THE CONDOR AND THE EAGLE documentary offers a glimpse into a developing spiritual renaissance as the film’s four protagonists learn from each other’s long legacy of resistance to colonialism and its extractive economy. Their path through the jungle takes them on an unexpectedly challenging and liberating journey, which will forever change their attachment to the Earth and one another.
