For thousands of years, the Waorani women of the Ecuadorian Amazon have lived in perfect harmony with Mother Earth in the most biodiverse spot on the planet: the Yasuní.&nbsp;Until now - the sacred place that grandmothers, daughters, and granddaughters have cherished as home stands under grave threat.

Waorani: Omede Beye Ante Nee Adani

The Waorani Women, Guardians of the Amazon, explain their life before contact and the impact of the globalized world on their culture. This film starts with the first contact of the Waorani tribe with the evangelical missionaries in 1956 and the inevitable change in their lives after the implacable arrival of extractive companies to the jungle.
