Tarcila is a short documentary that introduces viewers to activist Tarcila Rivera Zea, a Quechua elder fighting for indigenous rights in Peru. Zea’s lifelong efforts to empower her people are growing increasingly crucial, as the weather becomes more unreliable and climate change raises the stakes. Tarcila focuses on solutions, highlighting what’s working for Indigenous farmers.
