We Walk the Earth Film Premiere

Join us for a two-part virtual event of the screening and film premiere of We Walk the Earth – a documentary directed by DI faculty fellow Felipe Montoya featuring Indigenous Bribri, Cabécar, Brunka and Bröran voices. We Walk the Earth speaks of Indigenous persistence in their homelands after more than 500 years of colonialism. It recounts struggles in Costa Rica for Indigenous rights to land, to self-governance and autonomy. Through the words of Bribri, Cabécar, Brunka and Bröran men and women, stories emerge of the pains suffered in the struggle to rightfully recover Indigenous Territories. The restoration of life and wellbeing through Indigenous Peoples’ stewardship of their land offers alternative ways to understand our relationship with the Earth.

The screening will be followed by a panel discussion on the struggles and objectives to secure land rights and autonomous governance structures that Indigenous peoples in Costa Rica share with others.

This free event is open to the public.
