DESCRIPTION:Children of the Jaguar is a campaign documentary about the struggle of the 
 Sarayaku indigenous community of Ecuador in order to defend their human 
 rights and the right of many other communities across the Americas. A few 
 years ago, the government authorised an oil company to enter Sarayaku's 
 land and drill for oil. Neither the government nor the company consulted 
 with Sarayaku whether the project was in line with their traditions and way 
 of life. Since then, Sarayaku has been campaigning for justice and redress, 
 including the removal of 1.4 tons of explosives which are still buried on 
 their ancestral land. They are also defending their right to be consulted 
 regarding further development projects which may affect them in the 
 future.\n\nHaving exhausted all judicial avenues at home, the Sarayaku have 
 taken their case to the Costa Rica-based Inter-American Court of Human 
 Rights. Children of the Jaguar follows the Sarayaku delegation as they make 
 their way to the highest regional court in the Americas. If they win, the 
 court's decision will benefit Sarayaku and many other Indigenous groups 
 across the region. It will send a powerful message to all governments 
 asking them to consult with Indigenous communities and request their 
 consent before carrying out development projects that may affect their 
 lives.\n\nAmnesty International is supporting Sarayaku's campaign to defend 
 their rights and the rights of Indigenous peoples across the Americas.
