Filmed against the backdrop of Ecuador’s diverse landscapes, Ceibo follows Pacha Light, a professional surfer and environmental activist, as she retraces her heritage across the country. Born in the Ecuadorian Andes and raised off-grid in a cloud forest, Pacha’s journey is both personal and political. After her father’s passing in 2021, she set out to reconnect with her heritage and the powerful history of activism in Ecuador.

Joined by Lucy Small – an Australian surfer, gender equality advocate, and co-director of the film – the duo travel through Ecuador, meeting incredible women who have been at the forefront of the country’s most crucial battles. From the land rights struggles in the Andes and the Amazon, to the fight to protect the Galapagos Islands, Ceibo sheds light on diverse forms of activism and the women who are leading them.
