Aura Tegría Cristancho, a 26-year-old indigenous lawyer from Colombia's U'wa Nation, has been the legal advisor to the U'wa Association of Traditional Authorities and Councils (ASOU'WA) since late 2013.

In September 2017, Aura toured the U.S., sharing the U'wa message of respecting Mother Earth and their generational fight to protect ancestral lands from oil drilling and resource extraction.

Aura emphasizes the U'wa belief that the world is a house supported by vital pillars. She urges non-indigenous people to abandon greed and protect Mother Earth, warning that once her "blood" (oil) is gone, no wealth can restore nature's harmony. Learn more at amazonwatch.org.

Hundreds of farmworkers and their supporters are in New York City for Wendy's shareholder meeting, demanding improved working conditions for tomato pickers. Organized by the Coalition of Immokalee Workers (CIW), the Fair Food campaign, featuring organizer Gerardo Reyes-Chavez, advocates for better wages and workers' rights.

This initiative follows a White House-recognized Social Responsibility Program, which McDonald's, Subway, Burger King, and Taco Bell have already joined. These companies pay an extra penny per pound of tomatoes to raise wages and commit to sourcing from farms that respect workers' rights.

We'll hear from Dr. Ray Ward, a Republican state representative and family physician from Utah, who champions this policy.

This powerful film explores the resurgence of urban farming in American cities. It showcases how diverse individuals are reclaiming lost skills and reconnecting people with their food, especially in Los Angeles.

Three LA residents exemplify this movement: Rishi, who traded a Silicon Valley career for backyard farming; Ron, who fought the city for his right to grow food on a public strip; and Adam and Jenna, a young couple cultivating their relationship through urban farming.

Urban farming is a growing global environmental movement, with unique significance in Los Angeles. This film was distributed by FilmBuff for Grist.
