ÑAGARE, 2024
"Ñagare," the Ngäbe word for no, is a short film that explores the environmental and cultural challenges posed by open-cast mining in Panama. In a country as small and biodiverse as the Central American nation, the impact of this practice is profound. Through an audiovisual journey of contrasts, Ñagare reflects the voice of resistance from indigenous communities like the Ngäbe-Buglé, who strive to protect the country’s natural resources. The film offers a meditation on the delicate balance between development and conservation.
