Kuna Conversations with Mother Earth
The Kuna Indians use participatory video in their struggle to conserve their forests
With this video a group of Kuna Indians documented their struggle to conserve the forests, their main source of food and traditional medicine. As their traditional island territories are threatened by rising sea levels, the Kuna used their film to ask indigenous youth to reconnect to agriculture and invite industrial countries to cooperate in the conservation of biodiversity.
