Our Turn – First Nations Youth in the Movement for Climate Justice aims to bring together young First Nations climate justice organisers from across Australia and USA with the purpose of discussing the global relevance of the film and to share perspectives from First Nations peoples on the frontlines of both environmental destruction and the movements advocating for climate justice. The objective is to maximise the reach of the film and relevant impact campaigns, as well as use this event as a fundraising opportunity.
The Film.
Award-winning documentary showcases a truly inclusive movement led by the most impacted.
Four Indigenous leaders embark on an extraordinary trans-continental adventure from the Canadian Boreal forests to deep into the heart of the Amazonian jungle to unite the peoples of North and South America and deepen the meaning of “Climate Justice”. The Condor & The Eagle documentary offers a glimpse into a developing spiritual renaissance as the film four protagonists learn from each other’s long legacy of resistance to colonialism and its extractive economy.
