Nicaragua is facing an escalating crisis. Illegal cattle ranchers and miners are decimating the Indio-Maiz Biological Reserve — one of the last remaining rainforests in Central America. Deforestation is leading to destruction of biodiversity, traditional ways of life, and climate change. Commodities produced on illegally converted lands are finding their way to unsuspecting consumers in the U.S. and other major markets.
The indigenous and Afro-descendent peoples are addressing the threat head on — fighting back to protect their territory and way of life. This is the story of PATROL.
When it came to screening PATROL in Nicaragua, in-person events weren't an option. This is why film screenings and a live discussion happened online, produced by FILM & CAMPAIGN.
