Description: "Photographers Lou Dematteis and Kayana Szymczak take their cameras into Ecuador's Amazon rainforest and bring back images of the exquisite beauty of the land and its indigenous peoples. The also bring back a darker perspective - shocking images of the devastating effects of Texaco's (now Chevron) oil extraction practices, both on the environment and on the people who inhabit the region. In the face of disease, death and the contamination of their land, here is a document of the Ecuadoran peoples' frontline fight for environmental justice and heroic struggle to save their rainforest."--Jacket.
