My Body, My Territory: The Struggle of Chiquitano Indigenous Women for Their Ancestral Land

My Body, My Territory: The Struggle of Chiquitano Indigenous Women for Their Ancestral Land

In 2024, Bolivia experienced one of the most devastating wildfire seasons in its history. Over 12.6 million hectares of forest and non-forest ecosystems were consumed by flames—many deliberately set—leaving irreversible damage to the Chiquitano Dry Forest, one of the world’s most unique and fragile ecosystems. Amid the smoke, ashes, and imposed silence, a powerful resistance emerges. My Body, My Territory is an intimate and visually striking documentary that follows the Chiquitano Indigenous women as they confront environmental destruction and systemic violence to defend their territory, culture, and dignity. Through deeply personal testimonies, evocative imagery of a forest in crisis, and the unyielding spiritual force of collective resistance, the film reclaims the profound link between body and land. This is not only a story of survival, but a call to listen—urgently and globally—to those who protect the Earth from its heart: the guardians of the Chiquitano Dry Forest.

Barruntaremos

Barruntaremos

“Barruntaremos (Inklings)” by Asunción Molinos Gordo opens a window into a disappearing form of ecological intelligence. In Spanish, barruntar means to sense something before it happens. Through the eyes of shepherd Pedro Sanz Moreno, one of the last guardians of the ancestral weather-reading practice Cabañuelas, the film invites us to sense the landscape the way our ancestors once did through intuition, relationship, and attention to subtle signals in nature. A moving call to rediscover the knowledge we are at risk of losing, and to listen again to the Earth before it is too late. Produced by TBA21 Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary
