Daughters of the Forest: Defending the Forest One Girl at a Time

DAUGHTERS of the FOREST tells the moving story of a small group of girls in one of the most remote forests left on earth who attend a radical high school where they learn to protect the threatened forest and forge a better future for themselves. Set in the wild and lush Mbaracayú Reserve in rural Paraguay, this intimate verité documentary offers a rare glimpse into a disappearing world where we witness young girls growing into brave young women even as they are transformed by their unlikely friendships with one another. Filmed over the course of five years, we follow the girls from their humble homes in indigenous villages through the year after their graduation to see exactly how this revolutionary educational opportunity has and will continue to impact their future lives.
