Tired of watching stupid white people make jackasses of themselves talking about those "poor Indians" living in the Amazon and who they ought to just grown up and learn to be white?
Well, a new Peruvian film floating around the internet, titled "El Perro del Hortelano", takes on the the drive to exploit the Amazon's oil reserves (the film was made where there is the current standoff with Hunt Oil) and the racist discourse of "development" promoted by Alan Garcia and outsiders, instead showing what an indigenous protagonist has to say and think. (What an idea, actually listening to those savages!)
To watch the rest go to the film website here.
From Abiding in Bolivia
After doing some searching on YouTube, the film is posted there in 9 parts and runs a little over an hour. Please take the time to look at it. The views of the Amazon are worth it if you have no heart at all. The message of the indigenous people is plain and simple: we don't want our land poisoned so that you can drive your stretch limousines around!

All opinions are welcome at this time. If it gets too out of control with threats and vitriol like I have seen on some sites, I may have to reconsider.
