Kuna Conversations with Mother Earth / The Kuna Indians use participatory video in their struggle to conserve their forests.

Forests are the main source of food and medicine. Mangroves protect the villages and agriculture from the sea. As their traditional island territories are threatened by rising sea levels, they used their film to ask indigenous youth to reconnect to agriculture and invite industrial countries to cooperate in the conservation of biodiversity.
