Countries Ecuador
Duration 23 min
Synopsis
Land and culture among the Shuar Indigenous people of the Ecuadorian Amazon are intimately linked to one another. This film explores what happens to Shuar community, relationships, culture and traditions when foreign mining interests enter the picture? By comparing two communities – one in a protected area and the other in a mining area – we gain insight into the current land issues faced by the Shuar people. It ultimately questions what a future without nature means for Shuar culture and identity.
