Parents used to teach their children about climate change; now, children are teaching their parents. The short films in this collection demonstrate the ways in which today's youth have quite literally taken matters into their own hands to ensure a cleaner, healthier environment for future generations. We can't wait for others to make change happen – it's up to us!
This program will also screen in person at NWFF on Sunday, Feb. 12 at 12:30pm! VIRTUAL, IN-PERSON, and HYBRID (virtual AND in-person) Festival Passes are available.
⚠️ Please note: NWFF patrons will be required to wear masks that cover both nose and mouth while in the building. Disposable masks are available at the door for those who need them. We are not currently checking vaccination cards. Read full COVID policies here.
One day, while collecting jagua fruits, a young Embera Katío girl, Chidima, is lured by a glowing, mystical toad into the forbidden zone of a hydroelectric power plant that put her village in danger, where she accidentally discovers a sacred cave. Frightened, she runs away and tells her grandfather what she saw, which unexpectedly brings new hope to her people.
