This upcoming film examines the conflict that arose in Bagua, Peru in 2009. Indigenous activists from
the Peruvian Amazon protested against new laws created by the Peruvian government that allow
international companies to extract oil, gas and minerals from the Amazon without adequately consulting
the indigenous people. Violence ensued which left 34 people dead, and over 100 wounded.
