Water for Life presents a documentary portrait of Berta Cáceres, tracing her commitment to defending rivers and indigenous rights. The film blends observational footage, intimate interviews and archival material to build a meditative, urgent testimony. It frames Cáceres’s leadership and the stakes of environmental struggle without sensationalism, exploring themes of resistance, community and loss. Presented with a subsequent discussion, the screening invites reflection on transnational solidarity and the cinematic language of political documentary.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with:
Roxanna Altholz — Professor at Berkeley Law and Director of its Human Rights Clinic, co-author of the GIEI Honduras final report on the assassination of Berta Cáceres
Camilo Bermúdez — Head of Legal Litigation at COPINH, the organization founded by Berta Cáceres
Will Parrinello — Director of the film
