Documentaries
The participants of the RECLAMA project have made a series of short films that document various aspects of their heritage and collective memory. These short films focus on (1) spirituality, (2) food sovereignty, and (3) beauty. You can also see the short films (and our webinar) on our Youtube page, without or with English or Portuguese subtitles.
