Summary
Documentary shot in the Amazonian part of Ecuador.
It depicts the permanent confrontation between the desire among the natives to maintain their traditions and to conciliate the modern forces intruding in their territories.
The film reports on an aviation project held by the Indians themselves and aiming to develop a better communication between their communities. It represents also an ecological alternative in front of the roads projects. At the same time the Indian communities are under pressure from the new invaders: the colonists who cut the trees in their forests, the mining companies searching for oil and minerals and from missionaries wanting to convert and baptise them.
The film is also a prospective investigation of the native Indians’ situation: what could be their future and how they want to develop themselves. |
