Deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, the Kichwa community of Sarayaku fights to protect its land, identity, and way of life. At the center of this struggle is Eriberto Gualinga, a filmmaker and storyteller determined to preserve the memory of his people.
In a world where ancestral knowledge is fading, storytelling remains a vital force. Through myths, prophecies, and daily rituals, elders pass on a vision of life rooted in balance with nature. But this fragile transmission is under threat from outside influences and industrial expansion.
As oil companies enter their territory, the people of Sarayaku resist. With a camera as his tool, Eriberto documents their fight, turning stories into a form of resistance and cultural survival.
Blending tradition and modern technology, this documentary explores how a new generation is reclaiming its voice. In Sarayaku, the future is not ahead, it lives in the past.
