Pilar Egüez Guevara, PhD is director and founder of Comidas que Curan, an independent education initiative to promote the value of traditional foods through research and film. Her award-winning documentary Raspando coco (Scraping coconuts) has been screened at film festivals, educational and community settings throughout the United States, Latin America, Europe and Japan.
