Join us this Thursday, Sept 25th for the screening of IHAMBA — a powerful documentary amplifying the voices of the Batwa people of Uganda, also known as the “forest peoples.”
Once guardians of the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, the Batwa were forcibly evicted in the early 1990s for gorilla conservation and tourism. IHAMBA puts their voices at the centre, exposing the human cost of conservation while celebrating their resilience, cultural memory, and ongoing fight for justice.
Developed in close collaboration with Batwa communities, the film honours their deep connection to the forest as a source of food, medicine, and spirituality, a connection that cannot be erased.
