This is a story of hope and decolonisation in a time of crises.

The Indigenous Bagungu People of western Uganda have lived along the shores of Itaka Mwitanzige (Lake Albert) since time immemorial.

But for over a century, colonialism and globalisation have damaged and repressed both the Bagungu's traditional, Earth-centred culture and the ecosystems they rely upon.

Custodians of Life tells the story of how, through innovative mapping techniques and intergenerational dialogues, the Bagungu are reviving culture and Nature in their sacred homeland.
