The Pan-Amazonian Ecclesial Network (REPAM) and the Latin American and Caribbean Catholic Association for Communication (SIGNIS ALC) invite people, Episcopal Conferences and organizations from Guyana, French Guiana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela to suggest names of martyrs for the seventh documentary of the audiovisual series “Life for the Amazon”.

The series is about testimonies of women and men who have given their lives to defend the Amazon and its peoples through reminding the spirit that led their work in their respective social, economic, political, cultural and religious contexts.

If you have any suggestions, you must complete the table included in this document and send it to comunicaciones@redamazonica.org y signisalc@signisalc.org. The call will remain open until April the 5th 2020.

Six chapters of the series have been produced so far: Labaka (Ecuador); KIWXI, Hna Cleusa Rody Coelho y Ezequiel Ramin (Brasil); Alcides Jiménez (Colombia); y Nicolasa Noza (Bolivia).

The goal of the series is that people approach the actions, the thoughts and the spirit that encouraged those men and women and that explain their martyrdom.

Similarly, the objective is that the Amazon is associated with global reflections, as well as to promote the defense of Human Rights and life and territory.

You can watch the other chapters of the series here.
