I can only show you the color (2014)

Year 2009 Northwest of the Peruvian jungle, near the border with Ecuador, a mining company enters the depths of the virgin forest in search for mineral resources, regardless of the damage it can cause. The entry is made with the approval of the government without the consent of the indigenous people living there Awajún. Known for their courage and bravery, the Awajún hold back the invaders; but in the struggle for their land, they are brutally beaten by the ultra-liberal government. Violence begets violence. Through a video workshop aimed at awajún, the director follows the trail of an irreparable injury.
