For our documentary, we accompanied an extraordinary development project: "Cuisine sans frontières" set up a floating school for indigenous communities in Ecuador’s Amazon.
The goal of the project is a fundamental change. It proposes a shift from an economy based on extractivism to one that helps preserve the environment. And a shift from oppression of indigenous communities to their empowerment.
The film accompanies the organisation "cuisine sans frontières" which establishes gastronomic meeting places and training centres in crisis areas or social conflict situations - always in cooperation with a local partner. The aim is always to ensure the long-term economic independence of the projects.
