In this video, Lansburgh, an award-winning documentary filmmaker, introduces you to his presentation on the "Dream People of the Amazon." It is about how a small group of indigenous people, the Achuar of the Ecuadorian Amazon, came up against the money and power of multinational oil companies and won.

Seven trips into the Amazon over three years, living in Achuar villages, trekking through the jungle, conducting on-camera interviews with Achuar men and women, and countless informal conversations with these people of the forest taught him that the Achuar, like many indigenous people all over the world, know something that we in the developed world do not. They know how to exist sustainably on the planet.
