DESCRIPTION:Trees Tropiques:  An observational immersion in life along the waterways 
 where the sweet water of the Amazon basin mixes with the salty Atlantic 
 Ocean is interrupted by questions about the ethics of including images of 
 deforestation, which could land the protagonist in trouble with the 
 environmental police.The film ruminates on the global ethics of 
 deforestation as we learn of deforestations’ symbiotic relationship with 
 harvesting açai, Brazil’s latest boom crop that has made it into popular 
 energy drinks and onto Oprah’s diet.\nRemembering Bagua (2011):  This 
 short documentary film examines the conflict that arose in Bagua, Peru in 
 June 2009. Indigenous Awajun and Wampis activists from the Peruvian Amazon 
 protested against new laws created by the Peruvian government that allow 
 international companies to extract oil, gas and minerals from the Amazon 
 without adequately consulting the indigenous people. Violence ensued which 
 left 34 people dead, and over 200 wounded. This film was mostly shot at the 
 Bagua Memorial, which took place in June 2010 in northern Peru. The 
 filmmakers recorded testimonials related to the causes and aftermath of the 
 tragic Bagua conflict.\n\n\n
