Date/Time: Tuesday 14th June, 5-7pm

Venue: Star and Shadow

Helena from Sarayaku is a film following the story of Helena Gualinga, an environmental and human rights activist whose father is Swedish and whose mother is from the Kichwa community of Sarayaku, Ecuador. It engages with several issues, including cross-border identities, climate change and indigenous communities, and language. 

We are delighted to announce that the director, Eriberto Gualinga, will join us for an online Q&A after the film.
