Indigenous Reporters: Inside The Nasa Fight To Reclaim Their Land | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

In the mountains of Cauca, Colombia, a group of young Indigenous communicators is fighting a battle that rarely appears on national television. Armed with cameras, microphones and community radio, the Nasa people are using media as a weapon to defend their land, culture and future. This is the story of Tejido Communications, an Indigenous media collective documenting the frontline struggle to reclaim ancestral territory from industrial agriculture and state repression. While mainstream media often ignores these conflicts, Tejido follows the people directly into the protests, the occupations and the violent confrontations unfolding across Nasa territory. For the Nasa, communication is not just journalism. It is part of their “Plan of Life”, a collective vision built around land, identity, spirituality and self-determination. Their reporters do more than cover events: they help communities organize, warn villages of danger, preserve memory and strengthen resistance. As Indigenous families cut down industrial sugarcane plantations to replant food crops, tensions escalate between communities, police forces and private landowners. Cameras become targets. Tear gas and gunfire interrupt interviews. Several Nasa activists have already been killed in the struggle for what they call the liberation of Mother Earth. Despite limited resources, Tejido continues broadcasting through documentaries, mobile screenings and community radio stations built by Indigenous youth themselves. Their goal is simple: to ensure these stories are seen, heard and never silenced. From frontline protests to grassroots media networks, this documentary explores how Indigenous communication has become a powerful tool of resistance in modern Colombia.
