Founded in the wake of war, the East Nimba Nature Reserve shelters some of West Africa’s most endangered species. With exclusive, on-the-ground access, OVERBURDEN follows rangers, scientists, and forest defenders who tend the land, protecting endangered species and sustaining livelihoods as a billion-dollar company falls short of promised support.
Join the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies and its Center for Culture, History, and Environment as we host a free screening of the film, followed by a moderated discussion with Grace Kotee Zansi, one of the voices featured in the movie.
Registration coming soon.
