Deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, a group of adventurers travels down the Rio Tiputini to meet a Waorani community facing rapid cultural change. As younger generations leave for the cities and oil exploitation encroaches on their territory, the Waorani struggle to preserve a way of life deeply rooted in the forest.
