Synopsis

The March Onwards is a REEL Guyana documentary that explores the stark choices confronting indigenous Warrau communities and local farmers on the precipice of development, in one of Guyana’s largest remaining mangrove forests.
Torn between traditional crab-catching activities, the preservation of a fragile and unique natural environment, and the opportunity to exploit a state-sponsored drive for large-scale agriculture, the main characters find their stories and fates increasingly intertwined.
THE MARCH ONWARDS, will screen as part of the green hearts program.
