AMAZON VOICES
Feature film, 58 min, France, Ecuador
SYNOPSIS
Amazon, Ecuador — From Sarayaku to Yasuni and Lago Agrio - a region devastated by the Chevron Texaco corporation -, several Indigenous communities are still trying to make their voices heard. Denouncing the social, cultural, environmental and human damage caused by oil extraction, these communities propose different alternatives.
How does one rethink development? What solutions are to be found through education? Dialogue with those who resist and bringing forth other frameworks of society.
