Dream people of the Amazon
Description
The Achuar people live in a part of the Amazon rain forest as pristine today as it was a thousand years ago. Their dreams are keeping it that way. The Achuar had no contact with the outside world until the early 1970's. We learn how their dreams have protected their forest and their society.
