Indigenous cinema is not just a form of artistic expression, but a powerful voice that amplifies struggles, strengthens identities, and contributes to political and social change.
Launched in December 2024, this initiative was developed by If Not Us Then Who? (INUTW) and Health In Harmony (HiH), and FSC Indigenous Foundation (FSC-IF) to amplify the voice of Indigenous communities in Panama through storytelling and media training.
Participants engaged in three-day in-person workshops in each community, where they received hands-on training to develop their own narratives.
To enhance their storytelling capabilities, participants were provided with essential tools, including smartphones and app licenses for video editing.
These workshops were part of the project “Promoting Indigenous Nature-Based Business Models,” which aimed to strengthen narrative sovereignty, environmental stewardship, and sustainable economic development within Indigenous communities.

To foster creative collaboration, WhatsApp groups were created, serving as platforms for continued communication, idea exchange, and peer support in content creation. The workshop also played a key role in strengthening relationships between Local communities, promoting dialogue, shared learning, and social cohesion. The active participation of 40 individuals reflected a strong community commitment to storytelling and reinforced the potential for sustaining and expanding future audiovisual initiatives.
