A GREENER SCREEN

In Detail

With the forest under greater threat than ever, Kéria, her cousin Selaï and baby primate Oshi, face many obstacles. Directed by Claude Barras (‘My Life as a Courgette’), this delightful French film follows Kéria’s discovery of her cultural heritage and the need to protect her ancestral forest lands.

Delicate details bring the ecosystem to life, from colourful plant life to animals like a baby orangutan rescued from harm.

But impending threats loom as logging operations clear sections of forest.

Through Kéria’s journey of self-discovery, the film advocates for protecting the forests and indigenous rights in a thoughtful yet passionate manner.

Barras crafts a compelling story with timely themes of environmentalism, cultural identity, and standing up against exploitation.
