Peru is home to 70% of the world’s tropical glaciers, but 40% of its surface area has disappeared since the 1970s. According to Peru’s National Institute of Natural Resources, all of the country’s 200 glaciers are under threat. It is feared that by 2025, they will be completely gone.

In a new, awardwinning documentary, director Ciril Jazbec tells the story of a mountain community at the frontier of climate change, adapting to pollution caused by glacier melt through ingenuity and traditional, indigenous knowledge.,

Ciril is a Slovenian photographer and director who was worked for National Geographic, The New York Times and World Wildlife Fund. This event in Soho, New York, will include a screening and conversation about his work. Attendance is by request to sarah@lairdandcompany.com.
