When an Indigenous town in Mexico rises up against illegal logging, three generations lead a fight to reclaim their forest, their autonomy, and their future.

In the mountains of Michoacán, Mexico, the Indigenous town of Cherán did what no one thought possible: it kicked out the cartels, shut down illegal logging, and took back control of its future. "Enraizados" (Our Roots Remain) follows the community’s transformation from uprising to self-rule through the lives of three generations shaped by the movement. Susy, a teenage street artist, turns local memory into public art. Paco, an environmental engineer, works to restore the land while building systems independent of the state. And Geno, one of the rebellion’s first organizers, looks back on the cost of standing up, and what it takes to keep going.

HELP US PUT COMMUNITY SOLUTIONS ON THE CLIMATE MAP

Enraizados is part of a broader effort to show that communities like Cherán are already responding to the climate crisis with practical, locally-driven solutions. This is an Indigenous- and women-led story of resistance, restoration, and self-governance; offering lessons for climate action rooted in care, autonomy, and collective power. Help us share this story where it matters, at international climate talks, film festivals, schools, and community forums. With your support, we’ll disseminate our discussion guide, ensure the film is used as a tool for dialogue and policy exchange, and bring greater visibility to Indigenous-led, community-driven climate solutions.
