Daughters of the Forest: Mycelium Chronicles

Description

This sci-fi documentary invites us to reconsider the experiences of both human and non-human inhabitants of our world. We follow Lis and Juli, two young scientists from indigenous communities in Mexico that have long lived in symbiosis with the many mushrooms in their regions. Their pursuits are threatened by deforestation, lack of opportunity, and loss. Still, they share how mushrooms show us different possibilities of coexistence, helping them overcome obstacles to reshape their lives and futures.

This screening will be followed by a talkback.
