Deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, Nemonte Nenquimo and the Pastaza community are fighting to protect one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
In partnership with Amazon Frontlines, Until They Listen follows Waorani leader Nemonte Nenquimo and Akash Mehta, founder of The Fable Fund, as they travel through ancestral territory, revealing the pressures of oil extraction and deforestation, and the strength of the communities defending their home.
From mapping threats on the ground to sharing ancestral knowledge and leading powerful movements of resistance, Nemonte shows how culture, courage, and community power the frontline of Indigenous environmental defence.
This is a story of identity, protection, and the voices shaping the future of the Ecuadorian Amazon.

Hermoso documental . Soy de Perú y me he sentido muy conmovida e identificado con nuestros queridos hermanos indígenas de Ecuador y de todo el mundo, que ni siquiera deberían luchar no tener ,ps ellos no hacen daño a nadie, viven tranquilos, en paz sin quitar ,ni ensuciar, ni contaminar pero la ambición de unos cuantos pone en riesgo su vida y la de si descendencia.
Un abrazo a nuestros hermanos y queremos que su voz haga eco .
La explotación de la tierra y la naturaleza solo trae destrucción y muerte para muchos y beneficios para unos cuantos

Precioso documental, gracias Amesh, soy de Perú, tengo 63 años y creo q la naturaleza fue creada para que el ser humano viva en ella disfrutando de todo lo que nos regala. Lamentablemente, la ambicion nos lleva a depredarla, llevados por un egoísmo enorme. Gracias 🎉❤🎉❤

Espectacular, conmovedor, educativo, concienciador y con el mensaje más importante para la raza humana: O cuidamos el planeta... o apague y vámonos. Gracias. Su lucha es por todos.
