Amazonia 2.0

documentary

Synopsis

Creativity versus arms, respect for Mother Earth versus the rape of petroleum, communal solidarity versus Western individualism, wisdom and spirituality versus the prevailing religion of money. And the Internet—an instrument of union and the first great network that can overturn the hierarchy.

In Sarayaku, for the first time in recent centuries, the Amazon has ceased to be a passive place that suffers without the standing up against those who bully it. A particularly visionary indigenous community has undertaken a path of creative and concrete proposals: a true revolution of consciousness that seeks to unite everyone in the world in resistance.

Amazonia 2.0 analyzes the sociopolitical proposal of the Amazon Rainforest and presents a critical message that looks for new paradigms in the fight against climate change. Indigenous movements propose new kinds of relationships between human beings and nature, and the Sarayaku people search for a forward-thinking way to enjoy a balance between tradition and modernity.
