Enhancing Perspectives
Honouring Heritage
Nurturing Growth.
We bridge Latin American Indigenous Media Creators with Global Audiences.
Terra Viva Media is a nonprofit collective dedicated to co-producing powerful stories with Latin American Indigenous filmmakers, communicators, and media creators.
We focus on collaborative production, strategic impact campaigns, and ethical distribution to carry Indigenous narratives to global platforms, ensuring creators maintain control and their communities drive meaningful change.
Indigenous creators produce powerful content about climate solutions, gender justice, and cultural resilience. But their work often rarely reaches global audiences.
