STORYTELLING FOR A DESIRABLE FUTURE  

Milpa Films tells the stories that matter — through documentary film, written narratives, photography and radio features — with aesthetic rigor, humanist depth, and an unflinching ecological perspective.

Why Milpa Films?
– The ‚milpa‘ is an agricultural system from Mesoamerica, rooted in Mayan tradition. It includes maize, beans, and squash – known as the ‚three sisters‚ – which complement each other and support local subsistence.
mil⋅pa⎮noun ⎮from the Náhuatl mil-li-pan: ‘what shall be sown onto the field
