Patrol (2023) is a community-collaborative documentary that follows Indigenous Rama and Black Kriol communities in Nicaragua as they fight to protect their territory from illegal cattle ranchers and other settlers from colonizing their territory. Filmmakers Camilo de Castro and Brad Allgood accompanied Rama and Kriol forest rangers, Nicaraguan journalists, and a U.S. conservation biologist over the course of seven years as they worked together to document, investigate, and halt this colonization, including by tracing its connections with international business interests.

A screening of the film will be followed by a panel discussion, Q&A, and group conversations with the film’s protagonist, Rama forest ranger Armando John, and exiled Rama and Kriol territorial defenders Lorenzo Martínez, Becky Mc.Cray, and Erick Thomas.
