Toroboro: La Consulta Popular
â
10.0Documentary
Synopsis
In 2007, Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa proposed not to exploit the ITT block in the YasunĂ National Park in exchange for $3.6 billion in international compensation. However, rising oil prices led to the reactivation of the project in 2013. The film documents the struggle of the Yasunidos group to call for a referendum to reverse the exploitation. The documentary, through archival material and current recordings, follows the effort and the legal battle against corporate interests throughout three governments, left and right. The documentary is part of a diptych with Toroboro: the name of the plants.
