Indigenous Peoples’ Rights – A Mini Film Festival by CBS Interns
We are pleased to invite colleagues, students, and partners to a special screening event at Copenhagen Business School on 10 December.
Indigenous Peoples’ Rights – A Mini Film Festival from Interns in Malaysia, Colombia, Tanzania, and Kenya
The event features a series of short films produced by CBS students during internships with NGOs around the world, as well as the documentary Where the Wind Blows (Kenya).
These films highlight key challenges and conflicts faced by Indigenous communities as they defend their territories amidst small- and large-scale development investments, including projects linked to the global green energy transition.
