What's the difference between telling someone's story and sharing it? We are committed to our collaboration with our partners, the Indigenous Maijuna of Peru - and this means that it's their story to tell. It's our privilege to share it. Our ongoing work is to do this well. This video was produced in close collaboration with the Federación de Comunidades Nativas Maijuna (FECONAMAI) and they have given us permission to share it with you.
