Free Mini Film Festival for World Water Day

~ School of the Americas Watch (SOAW) is honored to co-host a mini-film festival in celebration of World Water Day and the communities that put their lives on the line to defend water, land, and air – the elements of life. Saturday & Sunday, March 20 & 21, 2021 Each film will be followed by a community specific panel with fierce Indigenous and Black women leaders. A large group discussion with all the women warriors together will close out the festival. Join us to hear directly from the visionary frontline leaders that are building a global movement to protect the earth, put health over wealth, and show people that another world is possible. The film festival and the panels will reflect on what's working, what's not and what we need to do to protect each other and the planet.
