This Yachaywasi Films documentary will provide a unique insight into modern day Amazonia and the struggle of its natives as their lands are auctioned off to national and international oil giants. A story eloquently portrayed and told through the eyes of an indigenous leader, it will reveal how their lives are being threatened to the brink of physical extinction, to fuel the illusion of our only possible subsistence; oil.
With their lands being auctioned off to international oil giants, we will witness heroic attempts to save their homeland and ways of life. In the context of fluctuating oil prices, the race to secure the remaining oil reserves worldwide and a chorus of warnings regarding an imminent global climate catastrophe, this film presents a global human-interest story of disappearance or survival.
