#CuraDaTerra Maggie García: curar el espíritu

In times of pandemic, ecocide, and genocide, indigenous women who defend water and practice our spirituality are living alternatives to the climate crisis. This is Maggie García's story. From Guatemala, we present this documentary investigation that reveals how green capitalism seeks to dispossess the indigenous communities of Lake Atitlán, and how large companies and the government are taking advantage of the climate crisis to do business with water.
