Virginia Film Festival

Ivey Camille Manybeads Tso is a young Navajo filmmaker investigating the displacement of her ancestors and the devastation of the land where she was born by major chemical companies. Traveling to La Guajira in rural Colombia, the Tampakan region of the Philippines, and the Tehuantepec Isthmus of Mexico, as well as to the protests at Standing Rock, she comes across like-minded Indigenous women who battle life-threatening stakes to preserve their culture, their home, and our Earth to avoid looming catastrophe.
