Side event at the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues

Tribal Link is cosponsoring a partial screening of the film “We Are Guardians,” followed by a panel presentation from Indigenous leaders and the film team. It will take place in Conference Room 5 at UN Headquarters.

This is a special preview screening of this documentary, which is premiering at the HotDocs film festival in Canada at the end of April. The panel discussion will include a star of the film, Puyr Tembé, a co-founder of the Indigenous women’s network ANMIGA with Sonia Guajajara (the first leader of Brazil’s new Ministry of Indigenous Peoples); Eric Terena, co-founder of Mídia India, the largest news outlet created by Indigenous youth; Josh Thome, Future Amazon Impact Partners; and Executive Producer Fisher Stevens (“Before The Flood” with Leonardo DiCaprio).
