COP29 Extreme Hangout: "Indigenous-Led Climate Action and the Power of Storytelling"

Come join us at COP29 @extremehangout (12/11 — 11 am) for a screening and panel discussion of “Enraizados.”

“Enraizados” (Our Roots Remain) captures the compelling story of Cherán, a P’urhépecha indigenous town in Mexico, rising against illegal logging to achieve self-determination and environmental revival. Amidst the global climate crisis, the film highlights the town’s path to autonomy as a model for sustainable living. It weaves together the experiences of three central figures – Susy, a young street artist inspired by the town’s history; Paco, an environmental engineer contributing to its restoration; and Geno, a leader of the rebellion – illustrating an intergenerational journey of hope, resilience, and ecological guardianship.
