This event forms part of Ladbroke Hall’s London Climate Action Week series — a curated cycle of screenings, talks and artistic experiences spotlighting climate, culture and community.
Ladbroke Hall is proud to host an exclusive preview of WHEN WATERFALLS DIE, a powerful new short documentary by award-winning Indigenous filmmaker Brandi Morin, presented as part of our London Climate Action Week programme.
Produced by AlldayEveryDay and Leonardo DiCaprio’s Appian Way, and backed by Earth Alliance, Re:Wild, and Amnesty International, this film is a breathtaking, deeply human portrait of the Shuar Arutam Maikuaints tribe in the Ecuadorian Amazon — a people standing at the frontlines of the climate crisis. Narrated through the voices of tribal warrior Numii Antun Yankur and leader Domingo Antun, the film chronicles the tribe’s resistance against the devastating copper mining operations threatening their sacred waterfalls, their forest, and their future.
Winner of multiple international awards, and featured by National Geographic, The Guardian, and Rolling Stone, director Brandi Morin brings her fearless lens to a story that transcends borders — capturing both the beauty of ancestral land and the heartbreaking struggle to protect it from extinction.
Following the screening, join a live Q&A with Indigenous leaders, including members of the Shuar community and special guests:
Numii Antun Yankur, Shuar land defender and paraecologist
Fanny Kaekat Utitiaj, activist and Women Defender of the Amazon
Zenaida Yasacama, Vice President of CONAIE
Moderated by Leo Cerda
Book a table at Pollini for lunch— one of the UK’s top Italian restaurants — before or after the event.
This event is part of Ladbroke Hall’s ongoing commitment to platforming Indigenous voices, environmental justice, and global cultural expression — a space where the arts meet activism, and storytelling becomes a force for change.
