Four years after the assassination of Indigenous landback activist Jerhy Rivera, his absence is an open wound in the hearts of his family, the Bröran community, and across Indigenous nations in Costa Rica. In JERHY, a Costa Rican filmmaker submerges himself in the town of Térraba, piecing together Jerhy’s legacy and uncovering the Bröran’s struggle to reclaim their ancestral land from the hands of illegal settlers.
Directed by John Ortiz, with the support of Jerhy Rivera’s family and the Bröran community of Térraba.
