A rainforest. A ruling. Nine girls.
In Sucumbíos, in the Ecuadorian Amazon, a provincial court ruled in favour of nine girls in a protection action to force the State to eliminate the oil industry's gas flares and replace them with cleaner technology.
Guerreras por la Amazonia follows their fight: a documentary about the environment, activism and adolescence, shot in Ecuador, Brazil and Spain, and spoken in Spanish, Siekopai, Shuar and Portuguese.
It is in advanced development, with completion planned for 2027. What you see here is the trailer.
