Peace Brigades International-United Kingdom will be screening their film “In Defence of Our Lands: Latin American activists fighting for their lives, land, and human rights” at the People’s Summit for Climate Justice that is taking place November 7-10.

This webpage highlights:

“A film documenting, in their own words, the struggle of activists in Mexico, Honduras and Colombia. Followed by a panel discussion with the filmmaker Manu Valcarce, and the interviewer, Susi Bascon, UK Director of Peace Brigades International, connecting this struggle with world-wide ecological and climate destruction.”
