Their land, their culture, and their future.
RFM Productions is a nonprofit media organization dedicated to advancing Latin American leadership in global climate action, producing independent environmental and disaster-recovery focused media, and protecting the biodiversity and culture of Latin America’s rainforests.
Through independent journalism, documentary production, field reporting, impact media, climate diplomacy, education, and strategic campaigns, RFM Productions brings greater visibility to the environmental challenges and solutions emerging across Latin America. We believe Latin American countries—home to some of the planet’s most important ecosystems and climate solutions—must play a central role in shaping the global response to climate change, including through the United Nations Climate Change Convention and other international forums.
Our work focuses on three interconnected areas: climate leadership, environmental and disaster media, and rainforest protection. We produce and distribute stories from communities affected by earthquakes, wildfires, floods, extreme weather, environmental degradation and other climate and natural hazards, connecting local realities with regional and international audiences.
Across the Amazon and other rainforest regions of Latin America, RFM Productions uses public-interest media to raise awareness of threats to biodiversity, traditional knowledge, cultural heritage, and communities whose livelihoods are deeply connected to the natural environment.
By connecting local stories with global audiences, RFM Productions works to strengthen climate education, youth involvement, counter environmental misinformation, promote international collaboration, and expand the visibility of Latin American perspectives within the global climate conversation. Our mission is to bring Latin American perspectives, science, culture, and community leadership to the forefront of global climate action through independent, local, and accessible media.
Our mission is to act as advocates of marginalized communities disproportionately impacted by climate change and provide an exclusive platform for improving bi-lateral relationships and cross-cultural exchanges. With transparency and integrity we share the challenges of underrepresented communities with stakeholders to address systematic social and economic disparities. Our mission is to create awareness and effective collaborations among communities to encourage a holistic and realistic approach to address rapid changing climate issues and socio-economic challenges.
RFM Productions believes that a high-quality visual presentation of the lifestyle and challenges of marginalized communities can present a better picture of the side effects that natural disasters, environmental pollution, and illegal human activities create for these communities. The documentary includes 9 countries that share the rainforest. These countries are Bolivia, Ecuador, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela whereas Peru is the pilot episode.

The nine countries – home to the Latin Amazon – Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, and French Guiana have been threatened by commercial logging, mining and illegal exploitation for decades. People may not know or choose to ignore its history, but these countries have been vowing to safeguard the Amazon for decades even pledging to reverse forestation by 2030 but deforestation prevails.
However, many tribes have always understood the need to respect their environment without non-native or foreign people present, for humanity’s wellbeing and healing. The Amazon has over 400 tribes each with its own language, culture, and territory. We believe the stigma towards Black Indigenous People of Color (BIPOC) exists because of misleading narratives by oppressive groups that must also be reserved to stop deforestation, not the other way around.
RFM’s BIPOC Amazon Project expands on this fundamental understanding and seeks to directly address the historical gaps in building a true and sustainable solidarity for natives.
This approach is the only promising way forward, if Black Indigenous People of Color and local communities keep being burdened, overpromised, and consulted in the environmental regulation process by leaders who are often shortsighted and merely checking a box, we will not find a solution to the climate crisis. The BIPOC communities should hold power, be compensated, admired, celebrated and their rights and way of life must be respected. Our approach will make that possible.

RFM’s BIPOC Amazon Project expands on this fundamental understanding and seeks to directly address the historical gaps in building true and sustainable solidarity for natives in the following way:
Mobilizing the regional communities who share a goal of racial empowerment by reversing the historical ways BIPOC have been viewed and treated in their own native lands. Our mobilization focuses on the importance of respecting the natives, being pro-indigenous culture and ceasing foreign supremacy.
These pillars are internalized and show up in mutually reinforcing, distinct, and specific ways within Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities and must be reversed as they impede efforts to protect the environment and collaborate across differences without destruction, violence, corruption, and inequality.
Our fieldwork disrupts the call for “global accord” by highlighting explicit dynamics of the imbalance of power across intersectional sectors and identities by focusing on the root causes of environmental degradation and the racial hierarchical power struggles that is underpinned by native invisibility, anti-indigenous activities, foreign supremacy, and the historical disadvantages of BIPOC communities who are living on the margins of oppressive regimes.
We seek to educate by intentionally reframing the Indigenous/Foreign binary to cultivate a deeper analysis of the environmental crisis among a wider group of BIPOC and native communties to call oppressive regimes into racial climate justice work; and
we entertain the young adult instead of bringing their generation to despair by offering a vision of environmental solidarity rooted in a reimagined relationship between BIPOC to their land, heads of states and policies that are pro-indigenous and anti-white supremacist society.
This approach is the only promising way forward, as long as Black Indigenous People of Color and local communities are not only fully consulted in the process by leaders who are checking a box we will not solve the climate crisis.
