An evening with Nicola Peel, director of the documentary "Blood of the Amazon"; the screening will be followed by Q&A and discussion with the director.
This full length documentary covers one woman's story as she traveled from the headwaters in Ecuador to Brazil. In a variety of small boats she journeyed down the Amazon researching the effects of the oil industry on the environment and indigenous people who live there. From the largest environmental lawsuit in history and the horrific contamination in the Amazon to a solution to the pollution they face and the exciting new Yasuni proposal to leave the oil in the ground.
Meet with the indigenous people themselves, oil company representatives, doctors and lawyers, missionaries and military, Amazon warriors and environmentalists.
This is a film which gives a voice to the people and hope to the planet.
