Is it possible to inhabit the jungle and protect it? From the immensity of the Amazon, a peasant leader, an indigenous leader, and a traditional Afro-Colombian doctor explore the Colombian Amazon as a diverse and cultural space through memory. Economic booms since the 19th century, armed conflict, inequalities, and structural violence threaten this sacred territory. Their voices reveal the struggle for climate justice and environmental resistance in search of a hopeful future.
