🎥 Join us for a special screening of “Karuara: People of the River” 🎥

This award-winning documentary follows Mari Luz Canaquiri and the Kukama women’s federation as they work to defend the Marañón River and have it recognized as rights bearing entity. The film, which combines hand-painted animation and documentary footage, was created through a collaborative process that saw co-directors Stephanie Boyd and Miguel Aráoz Cartagena working closely with Kukama artists, journalists, and community members, including Canaquiri herself. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Stephanie Boyd, facilitated by Dr. Rodrigo Narro Pérez and Andrea Vela Alarcón.

🎥 Karuara: People of the River
🌟 A Screening and Discussion with Stephanie Boyd
📆 October 29, 2026, 7-9pm
📍Robinson Memorial Theatre (Chester New Hall 103), McMaster University

“Mari Luz Canaquiri says her river is the ‘ɨa’ – the center, life force and mother. Her river deep in Peru’s Amazon provides fish to eat, a transport route and a place to swim and relax. But it is also much more. Underneath the surface live the Karuara, which means 'people of the river' in her native tongue.” (Karuara website)
