Chumpi & the Waterfall
“We’re going to prove that a future without the oil company is possible”
by Gregor McLannan
Meet Chumpi, a young indigenous Achuar boy from Chicherta Village in the remote headwaters of an Amazon tributary deep in the Peruvian rainforest. Watch and share this award winning documentary about Chumpi’s journey in search of the vision of his Achuar ancestors.
The Achuar are up against Talisman Energy and other ruthless companies that are on the verge of drilling for oil in their ancestral territory. Their culture and entire way of life is at stake.
The Achuar made this film to show you how their extraordinary rainforest home is critical to survival.
