Twenty-five years after a renowned ethno-botanical study in the Ecuadorian Amazon region, inhabited by the Waorani, the key figures involved reunite. Members of the community talk about the genocidal colonization of their people since the arrival of Christian missionaries. The main threats to their survival are now the oil and timber industries.
