Sisa Ñambi

2010, 25 min., Ecuador
In Kichwa and Spanish with English subtitles
Director: Eriberto Gualinga (Sarayaku Kichwa)
Distributed by: Selvas Producciones - trayamuskuy@hotmail.com

In the south-central Ecuadorean Amazon, the Sarayaku Kichwa are fighting to maintain their territory, where multinational corporations seek to extract oil, gold, and tropical hardwoods. This production documents their effort to mark their land off limits to exploitation with a 333,000-acre border of flowering, medicinal, and edible plants.
