Description

Bolivia’s Lake Poopó has evaporated, and as Qotzuñis, People of the Lake, the Uru-Murato community faces the cultural and economic consequences.

The first screening will be followed by a Q&A with co-directors Michael Salama and Gastón Zilberman.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
