FILMS

African Earth Jurisprudence Collective
thThe African Earth Jurisprudence Collective revives Indigenous lifeways for resilience to climate change. Across the continent, we accompany communities on journeys of decolonisation: restoring earth-centred cultures along with the ecosystems they are embedded in. Together, we are healing destroyed diversities that give us resilience to the polycrisis of our time. Together, we are a uniquely African hope, innovative, and ancient movement.
With your support we work directly with 2,000 people, the ripples of which reach 7,000 more, plus a greater number of beings who crawl, fly, slither and swim than we can count.

Guillemots on Skomer Island Study

We aim at raising enough funds to support the next 50 years of the the long-term study of guillemots on Skomer Island.

The letters are anonymous, will be collected, and selected ones will be archived as a memory for coming generations.

The Redford Center
Enraizados is part of a broader effort to show that communities like Cherán are already responding to the climate crisis with practical, locally-driven solutions. This is an Indigenous- and women-led story of resistance, restoration, and self-governance; offering lessons for climate action rooted in care, autonomy, and collective power. Help us share this story where it matters, at international climate talks, film festivals, schools, and community forums. With your support, we’ll disseminate our discussion guide, ensure the film is used as a tool for dialogue and policy exchange, and bring greater visibility to Indigenous-led, community-driven climate solutions.

The Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program (FFRP)
The goal is to help more formerly incarcerated firefighters get jobs in the wild land and forestry sector.

The Future Council
The Future Council is a global child-led movement that inspires and empowers young people to take positive action to shape and design their future. Everyone can get involved with the Future Council and any donation allows that to happen.

Oscar M. Lopez Mga Kwento ng Klima Balangay Project
The goal is to create more connections internationally that can give more seminars and workshops when it comes to climate change storytelling and create more screening avenues for future other films.

Seatrees
This project, led by Seatrees and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, is pioneering research to measure how much carbon wild kelp forests capture. This science will unlock funding, prove kelp’s role in reversing climate change, and pave the way for kelp in global carbon markets.

After you’ve watched the film, visit KEEN’s impact website to learn more about these issues and take action with National PFAS Contamination Coalition & NRDC.

Qotzuñi

Collective Fashion Justice
We are using this film to encourage citizens to call on their favourite fashion brands to phase out their use of harmful animal-derived and fossil fuel-based leathers and alternatives, investing in the use of shiringa bio-leather instead.

Overall goals:

Tue, Sept 23rd, 7 PM
In September, people will gather from around the world in Lenapehoking to address the climate crisis. As Indigenous Peoples, we will be there to protect Mother Earth and honor our ancestors. From representing our frontline fights on the ground, to holding Big Greens accountable, to fighting false climate solutions and embodying real solutions, to standing in solidarity with our brothers and sisters during this chaotic administration—it's more important than ever for us to make a presence. If you want to learn why we, as Indigenous Peoples, are at the forefront of climate struggles, please join IEN in this virtual community report back to hear from Indigenous Matriarchs and youth from Turtle Island about what is happening on the ground and how Indigenous leaders are organizing and mobilizing to advance the struggle for climate justice.
