They have sold the lungs of the world

Frederik Sølberg, Peter Leys, Denmark, 2010

30 min.DK/Documentary

A portrayal of the dilemma the Amazonian natives are confronted with. A kaleidoscopic journey which follows the oil throughout the fragmented Peru as well as the fundamental changes that follow in its wake. A journey which reveals a country on the very periphery of the world economy, and a country of vast cultural, economical, and geographical divides. A journey that leads us from the indigenous woman in the jungle whose children are dying from the pollution caused by the oil, via the despairing village people of the lands between the jungle and the mountains, to the indigenous chief, the environmental specialist, and to the powerful oil companies in the big city of Lima.
