Hijo de Juaguar

deep within the Ecuadorian Amazon, Waorani chief Enqueri recounts the ancient legends of his people — stories of jaguars, spirits and the living forest that have guided the Waorani for generations. Through memories of his own life, from growing up in the jungle to witnessing the arrival of oil companies in the yasuni, enqueri reflects on a world caught between ancestral wisdom and modern destruction. hijo de jaguar is an intimate portrait of a man, a culture, and a community fighting to protect one of the most biodiverse places on Earth before it disappears forever.
