Program
Meskanakatiso: Where the road ends
By Matthew Joycey, Canada, 16 minutes.
Last February, a group of colleagues from the Lanaudière Native Friendship Centre (two Atikamekw, one Anishnabeg, and four Quebeckers) decided to trek through Quebec’s North Shore to prove that the territory remains accessible even without skidoos and modern technology.
Inia Ikiamri (Our Jungle)
By Martín Kingman, Équateur, 23 minutes.
A thriving Indigenous community in the Ecuadorian Amazon clings to tradition and connections to land while preparing for an uncertain future.
The Salmon Forest Project
By Bill Heath, Canada, 27 minutes.
The Salmon Forest Project paints a haunting portrait of a threatened ecosystem and those who care deeply for it. In the vast rainforest homelands of the Heiltsuk (known as the Great Bear Rainforest), extractive industries have exploited the land, breaking the fragile links that connect thousands of species. Now the salmon are in peril. Here a disparate group of extraordinary people, from Indigenous leaders and elders to university researchers, explore the intersection between traditional knowledge and western science.
