Voices of the Mayan Jungle: A Battle for Life

Among this year's most anticipated feature presentations is the festival premiere of Greenpeace Mexico’s groundbreaking documentary, "Voices of the Mayan Jungle: A Battle for Life" (Voces de la Selva Maya: Una Batalla por la Vida). This powerful film examines the ongoing devastation of Mexico's "green lung" — the Mayan jungle — highlighting threats from deforestation, industrial agriculture, mega pig farms, real estate development, and the controversial Mayan Train project.

The documentary gives voice to Indigenous communities and environmental defenders fighting for their home and future. As Greenpeace Mexico’s campaign coordinator Carlos Samayoa states, “We want the cry of the jungle to be heard throughout Mexico and beyond its borders.”

Special guests from Greenpeace Mexico and local environmental leaders will join the screening for a Q&A session, offering firsthand insight into this urgent environmental and human rights issue.
