Water for Life tells the story of three Indigenous activists in Central and South America, who have fought to protect their communities’ water rights and ancestral lands from mining, hydroelectric projects, and large scale agriculture. The three individuals profiled in the film are Berta Cáceres, a leader of the Lenca people in Honduras; Francisco Pineda, a subsistence farmer in El Salvador; and Alberto Curamil, an Indigenous Mapuche leader in Chile — all of whom were previous recipients of the Goldman Environmental Prize.  The 2025 Goldman Environmental Prize ceremony took place this week on Monday, April 21 in San Francisco, California. On this episode of Terra Verde, filmmakers Will Parrinello and María José Calderón join host Fiona McLeod to discuss the stories shared in the film, which is airing on PBS this month after 12 years of production.   Featured Image Photo Credit: Courtesy of Goldman Environmental Prize The post ‘Water for Life’ brings Indigenous water issues to the big screen  appeared first on KPFA.
