A visually dazzling meditation on the delicate balance between human and nature, The Guardians elegantly melds the life cycle of the iconic monarch butterfly with the stories of an indigenous community in Mexico. Both species depend on the same ancient forest for their survival, and both now face an uncertain future. (RiverRun International Film Festival)
