The narrative explores the devastating impact of oil extraction on the indigenous Cofán nation in Ecuador following Texaco's discovery of crude oil in the 1960s. As the region's environment deteriorated and health issues arose, the Cofán became plaintiffs in a significant lawsuit for compensation. Despite the challenges posed by environmental destruction, they strive to preserve their language, culture, and rainforest home, showcasing their resilience in the face of adversity and their commitment to justice.
