Directed by Sam Vinal ∙ 2017 ∙ Honduras - United States ∙ 29'

In Honduras, the most dangerous country in the world to be a land defender, the assassination of world renowned environmental activist Berta Cáceres has not silenced the many campesinas and campesinos fighting for justice and Indigenous sovereignty.

As co-founder and leader of the Council of Popular Indigenous Organizations of Honduras (COPINH), Cáceres courageously fought against the massive Agua Zarca hydroelectric dam on the Río Gualcarque. Since her assassination in 2016, Honduran officials have not conducted thorough investigation into Cáceres' death, prompting activists to launch a campaign for justice, and rally with powerful chants of "Berta Didn't Die, She Multiplied!"

Summer 2117 will be revealing for Sam, an 18-year-old Cameroonian girl. Freshly elected to the tribal council that governs her country, she joins the national delegation that is invited to Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). This trip is a pilgrimage for the young girl, as she traces the steps of her great-grandmother who lived in this northern land over a hundred years ago. She will also come to realize the connection that ties her people to this foreign land, a bond woven through a struggle that will lead Cameroonian people and First nations of Canada to linguistic sovereignty.
