The LIVE watch party has ended, but the film and recorded filmmaker Q&amp;A are available to watch on-demand.

We Are Guardians follows Indigenous forest guardian Marçal Guajajara and activist Puyr Tembé as they fight to protect their&nbsp;territories from deforestation, an illegal logger who has no choice but to cut the forest down, and a large landowner at the&nbsp;mercy of thousands of invaders and extractive industry. Through intimate, character focused storytelling, the film brings the&nbsp;issues to the forefront — from the science of the Amazon Rainforest and its pivotal role in our global climate stability to the&nbsp;economic drivers of deforestation. The film weaves together politics, history, economics, science, and consciousness,&nbsp;providing an in-depth exploration of this incredibly complex and critical situation — the origins and the impact of which&nbsp;ripple out far beyond the boundaries of the Amazon itself. Directed by Indigenous activist Edivan Guajajara and&nbsp;environmental filmmakers Chelsea Greene and Rob Grobman; produced by Academy Award winner Fisher Stevens. Followed by a Q&amp;A with filmmakers Chelsea Greene and Rob Grobman via Zoom. The discussion will be recorded and available the next day for those who could not attend the Virtual Movie Night. NOTE: Please note on the date of the LIVE program, MST (AZ time) is the same time as PDT. Therefore, the LIVE program will begin at 5:30pm PDT / 8:30pm EDT.
