This cross-continental program presents stories from Pakistan, Croatia, and Bolivia, where struggles over access to clean water intersect with reflections on cultural traditions and legacy. Photographed in the northeastern mountains of Pakistan, The Glacier Wedding follows a group of researchers aiding a small farming community to revive the “Glacier Wedding”—an ancient practice used to seed a new glacier—as rising temperatures threaten traditional ways of life. The Tempest of Neptun was filmed on the picturesque Croatian island of Vis, now a tourist destination, where plans for development divide locals, as fishermen, youth, and academics take stock of the environmental impact and history of the region. In Qotzuñi: People of the Lake, members of the Indigenous Uru-Murato communities of Lake Poopó, Bolivia, reflect on what is lost when drought and industrialization drain the lake dry and how to sustain their culture moving forward.
