A participatory climate film project in the Amazon led by the knowledge of indigenous communities living on the frontlines of the climate emergency. Amazon, the cradle of one-fifth of the world's freshwater, is facing a historic drought caused by the warming of the tropical North Atlantic Ocean and South America's Pacific Coast, intensified by climate change. This unprecedented crisis has triggered wildfires, hazardous air quality and depleted river systems endangering both wildlife and remote indigenous communities. We are co-creating a feature film with an Amazon river based community, the Quilombolas of Saracura – descendants of African fugitives of Trans-Atlantic slave trade who made Amazon their home. This participatory climate cinema project will spotlight the resilience of communities who are now being forced to become climate refugees.
