City of Gods and Goddesses
A Documentary Rooted in Culture and Community
On Friday, April 11, Koret Scholars at Sonoma State University participated in a film shoot for the upcoming documentary City of Gods and Goddesses, led by CALS faculty member and filmmaker Malinalli Lopez.
The team successfully completed six interviews with members of the local community, who were interviewed by the student scholars as part of the film's production.
City of Gods and Goddesses follows Indigenous and Mexican communities in Northern California as they heal the land through cultural traditions and ancestral wisdom—weaving resilience through community and storytelling.
The project reflects a powerful collaboration between faculty, students, and community members to honor intergenerational knowledge and cultural roots through film.
