In Sarayaku, Yasuni and Lago Agrio—Ecuadorian regions devastated by the Chevron Texaco corporation—several Indigenous Kichwa communities are still trying to make their voices heard in a long struggle against oil fields.

AMAZON VOICES: IN THE HEART OF NATIVE AMERICAN RESISTANCE depicts how, by denouncing the social, cultural, environmental and human damage caused by oil extraction, the Kichwa propose profoundly different ways of thinking. How does one define development? What is a “good-living” society? What solutions can be found in education?
