In honor of this year's theme, "Resilient by Nature," the films in this session showcase how humans are able to draw on our strengths, talents, and lived experiences to innovate and inspire positive change for a better world. We look to nature itself as a model for resiliency, which shows us that we can not only withstand hardship, but also regenerate and thrive.
Featuring: Tengefu (9 min) | The Church Forests of Ethiopia (9 min) | The Return (20 min) | The Nature Makers (68 min)

Award Winner: Best in Theme - "Resilient by Nature"
Over the past century, farming and the needs of a growing population have replaced nearly all of Ethiopia’s old-growth forests with agricultural fields. This film tells the story of the country’s Church Forests–pockets of lush biodiversity that are protected by hundreds of churches “scattered like emerald pearls across the brown sea of farm fields.”
