About the film:

In the jungles of Peru, three generations of Indigenous women face multiple forms of violence — extractivism, racism, and machismo — amidst the climate crisis. Nevertheless, they push forward and lead their communities to guard their sacred spaces, reforest the land with ancestral plants, and protect their water sources in the name of geographic sovereignty.
