Why watch this film?
Selected in multiple international festivals and events such as Cinema Planeta 2017 and the International Film Festival in Guadalajara 2018, 'Yasuni Man' is a documentary that makes visible one of the deepest - and often minimized - human crises of our time: the colonization of protected ecosystems or belonging to indigenous people (in many cases, with the blessing of the respective governments) to extract their resources in favor of the interests of large transnational corporations. It is an urgent call for reflection and action based on the case of the Huaorani people in Ecuador, which sadly shares with other indigenous peoples of the world.

The Woman of Stars and Mountains
Rita Patiño, an indigenous woman from Mexico, was found by a human rights organization inside a Kansas psychiatric hospital, where she had been involuntarily confined, for 12 years, despite the fact that the hospital authorities were never able to determine who was this woman, where did she come from, or what language she spoke. After the consequences of confinement and medical negligence, Rita returned to Mexico, where she lives with Juanita, her niece, and primary caregiver, in a context of precarious economic possibilities. A moving portrait of the lives of these two Tarahumara women, questioning the multiple forms of racism and discrimination that indigenous women in Mexico and the United States face.
