SUMMARY:Indigenous Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:\n\nUMA: A WATER CRISIS IN BOLIVIA \nAna LLacer\nUSA | 2020 | 78 min | Canadian Premiere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThree indigenous communities in the Bolivian highlands fight to protect their water from diversion and contamination amid a national water crisis. The government has consistently supported the expansion of mining and granted miners unrestricted water access. Uma, the Aymara word for water, takes viewers on a journey from the tropical Andean glaciers and the highest navigable lake in the world to the mines of Oruro, and the vanished Lake Poopó.\nWEMINDJI WATER WONDERS \nWemindji Youth, Jeremy Williams and Kristy Franks\nCANADA | 2020 | 23 min | World Premiere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYouth from the Cree Nation of Wemindji travel to Australia to learn with local Indigenous cultures and their own relationship with water.\nVALA NORTH \nStephani Gordon\nPAPUA NEW GUINEA | 2020 | 12 min | Ontario Premiere\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn the far northern atolls of Papua New Guinea, scientist chieftain and visionary John Aini resurrects old secret ways and melds them with what he and his fellow chieftains and their people know of the coral reefs they rely on. Vala North is a story of a thin thread of hope in a changing world, hope for coral reefs around these islands, and hope for the communities that rely on them.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEMCEE: Rick Miller\nis a writer/director/actor/musician/educator who has performed in five languages on five continents, and who Entertainment Weekly called “one of the 100 most creative people alive today”. He has personally created shows such as the BOOM Trilogy and MacHomer, as well as many family oriented pieces and an educational animated series called Kidoons with Craig Francis. Rick is from Montreal, and lives in Toronto with his partner Stephanie Baptist and their two daughters.\n\n\n
