While the Amazon burns, the global youth climate movement gains momentum and the United Nations warns us we have one decade to reduce emissions by half to avoid irreversible, catastrophic effects of the climate emergency, “The Condor and the Eagle” shows how we can follow Indigenous leadership to transition away from fossil fuel extraction into a sustainable future.
The Victoria premiere is part of a 10-stop Canadian tour, including an ambitious outreach campaign uniting North and South across Canada. The film is a climate-organizing tool that spotlights Indigenous women and Indigenous-led resistance – amplifying the voices of targeted communities – to catalyze critical intercultural dialogues, shift public opinion and coordinate actions to urgently reorient our way forward.
