The irreconcilability of indigenous land rights and free-trade agreements has seldom been more dramatically illustrated than in this documentary about the collapse of the Peru’s Amazon rainforest due to the exploitation of natural resources. The heart of the film is the 2009 clash between Peru’s government, headed by right-wing politician Alan García, and the Peruvian Amazon communities. “Poignant and dramatic.” Hollywood Reporter
