Synopsis
In the remote village of Tucunaré in the Peruvian Amazon, Ramón, Rosaura, and their nephew Cuchiringo are part to the Urarina, an indigenous people facing increasing threats. Dependent on fishing, hunting, and farming, they struggle as the Chambira River’s water levels drop, endangering their way of life. Illegal logging, oil extraction, and mining worsen environmental damage. NGOs like FKI support the Urarina with education, healthcare, and cultural preservation. The Amazon, home to breathtaking, vital ecosystems, is in crisis. This documentary highlights the Urarina’s resilience and the urgent need to protect this invaluable natural and cultural heritage.
