Awavena
The producer of Awavena, a mixed-reality film supported by the Skoll Foundation and Sundance, will reveal the mysterious and compelling story of Hushahu, the first female Shaman of the Amazonian Yawanawa people. Awavena is a great example of how diverse voices, technology and powerful storytelling can come together in a seamless immersive journey, created by an all-women filmmaking team together with the indigenous people they seek to empower.
