FROM STORY TO GROUND IMPACT

This film is twinned with a live campaign centred on Sol y Verde, the non-profit founded by Baltazar, which the film follows in its early years. It now supports over 2,000 people across Petén yearly, with training in ecological restoration, food sovereignty, and permaculture. Their work is backed by international organisations such as the Honnold Foundation, Rainforest Alliance, Choose Love, the Evoca Foundation, the Lush Spring Prize.

The project’s next step is a permanent cultural and ecological centre in Petén, the first of its kind in the region, housing a screening room, library, and ancestral medicine-making space. The film's release is timed to unlock the final funding needed to complete it. Through screenings in Guatemala, the US, and the UK, alongside distribution partners, the campaign will reach policymakers, students, and affected communities directly.
