Daughters of the Forest Daughters of the Forest

Deep in Mexico’s forests, two indigenous mycologists reimagine the future by reconciling ancestral knowledge with a changing world.

A story of entanglements: between humans and mushrooms; the visible and the invisible; generational knowledge and modern science. This immersive documentary takes viewers on an unexpected, sometimes speculative exploration of the realities of two Indigenous communities and the fungi in the forests of Mexico, inviting them to reconsider the perceptions and experiences of both the human and non-human inhabitants of our world.
