Waters of Pastaza

Inês T. Alves

Documentary / 61 / HD / Portugal / 2022

Isolated in the Amazon rainforest lives a community of children in deep intimacy with the nature around. Between the waters of the Pastaza River and the top of the trees, these kids run their daily lives almost autonomously and with a strong sense of collaboration.
