Yasuní National Park in the Ecuadorian Amazon is a haven of biodiversity and home to the Indigenous people who protect it – including Ecuador’s last peoples in voluntary isolation, the Taegeri and Taromenane. It also holds a third of the country's oil reserves.

This reality forms the backdrop for The Curse of Abundance, a film that takes you deep into the Indigenous movement building global solidarity and support for Yasuní, against the oil industry and complicit government.

For a limited time, the film’s director, Ewa Ewart, is providing Amazon Watch supporters free access to stream it in the comfort of your own home.

Years ago, Ecuador agreed to keep the oil in the ground for a price, and the international community was skeptical of the proposition. The demand was destined to fail, and the government was quick to open up the rainforest to foreign interests when it did. Every president since has sought to exploit the Amazon, and now the country is saddled with debt it can only pay off with barrels of oil.

Over the next few months, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACHR), the highest judicial body in the region, will hear a monumental case brought forth by Indigenous peoples demanding that Ecuador respect the rights of isolated peoples in Yasuní. In a moment where science and civil society have aligned in calling to keep oil in the ground, this case and film call on us to learn and question the environmental cost of continuing to extract oil all over the world.

Watch The Curse of Abundance and take action today!
