Yasuni Man (2017)

Yasuni Man: Directed by Ryan Killackey. With Otobo Baihua, Ryan Killackey. Desperate conservationists struggle against oil interests as native people in the heart of Ecuadorian Amazon vie to preserve their culture. A filmmaker-biologist reveals the rich biodiversity in peril and those who call it home.

“As I am familiar with the setting of Yasuni Biosphere Reserve and the Waorani I find this film to be the most informative and captivating film about what is known as the most biodiverse place in Earth. It is so beautifully composed you will feel the depth of the Waorani spirit while witnessing the complex web of biodiversity. This film tackles all that is Yasuni and delves into the harsh reality of oil in the Amazon.”
