While Western legal systems often view nature as property, indigenous communities have long seen themselves as part of it. As environmental degradation mounts, a new legal strategy, "The Rights of Nature," is gaining traction globally. This film explores the origins and implementation of this concept in Ecuador, New Zealand, and the United States.

The film examines the successes and challenges of these new legal structures in restoring ecosystems and achieving balance between humans and nature. EarthSayers Issac ; Kirsti Luke |
