As part of Fiesta Cultural, the Lesher Center is proud to present a screening of AINBO: Spirit of the Amazon in the Lesher Center’s 150-seat Vukasin Theater! 

Film description:
Ainbo: Spirit of the Amazon (2021) is a Peruvian animated fantasy film about an adventurous young girl who discovers her homeland is threatened by illegal miners, loggers, and a dark ancestral spirit known as the Yacuruna. Joined by her spirit animal guides—a comical armadillo named Dillo and an oversized tapir named Vaca—she sets off on a quest to the giant turtle Motelo Mama to save her jungle paradise. (84min)
