Their struggle is about far more than preserving their homes. The forests of Intag play a critical role in protecting the watersheds that supply fresh water to Quito and many surrounding communities. Despite years of resistance, illegal mining has already begun to leave its mark. Rivers have become contaminated, threatening the water that local families depend on every day and putting one of Ecuador's richest ecosystems at risk. Since this documentary was filmed, the conflict has intensified. Several community leaders have lost their lives while defending their territory, and the people of Intag continue their fight to protect their land, their water, and the future of one of the world's most extraordinary natural environments. This film is a testament to their resilience, their courage, and their unwavering commitment to defending the place they call home.
