The rainforest of Ecuador's Amazon region is home to a remarkable diversity of plant and animal species. The ancestors of Don Otorino, a native of the Kichwa people, lived here for thousands of years without destroying the forests. It was not until oil exploration by foreign companies in the 1980s that the trees began to fall over large areas. Now the rivers are poisoned and the population increasingly uprooted. Don Otorino shows how life in the jungle is possible today without destroying the habitat or the indigenous culture. It is also a highlight to see how Don Otorino opposes the oil companies.
