Anne and I watched four documentary films related to an indigenous call for climate action. We had the great pleasure of listening to voices from Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Myanmar.

At the end of the documentary films we also witnessed the testimonies of two representatives from the Wampi Nation in Peru and I even had the opportunity to discuss and take a picture with one of them.

We enjoyed very much the event and learnt a bit more of the different realities of the indigenous communities in Latin America and Asia. As a Peruvian I felt proud of assisting to this screening. It was undoubtedly a great satisfaction that the whole auditorium could see the indigenous situation in the Peruvian Amazon due to illegal mining and logging, as well as understand how important it is to protect the area and its people.
