              The paintings and stories of the painter Don Pablo Amaringo's Amazonian and religious realities subtly guide you through this film, in which you share space and time with a series of teachers who are experts on the language of the Amazon's plants, seen by many as “the world's pharmacy”. This documentary is called “Ayaruna”, which means “deceased” in Quechuan, and acts as a bridge between different realities, setting up a profound philosophical dialogue that deals with the language of the spirit and covers subjects like the mystical experience and medicine in our time.

              Two summers ago we travelled to the southern winter, almost letting ourselves be led by chance, our eyes open with our backs to the wind, looking to the ground to protect them from the dust of dunes near the beach. We stopped for a few days in a wind place, where there are no networks yet and the few visitors are respectful and mostly silent. With these people, we were only accompanied by animal-monuments, nothing within a radius of 300 kilometres (what more could you wish for). Then we saw a group of tourists arrive (maybe we're tourists of monuments or of the spirit). They stopped and stared. Elephants and people stare silently. The power of the moment is such that the devices to steal light and sound fall silent. We met Mariano and he spoke to us, without expecting or even wanting to understand... We remembered one night, catching our breath at the whales' greeting. Let's not fool ourselves, because we weren't looking for it, something changed.

              Kim, Harold, Miguel Duque, Ratablanca y Cross-T “We say there is social war when everything gets reduced to a plan. All of the possibilities for creation and existence that all of us want for ourselves, what we call life, require the availability of resource this purpose. Symbolic, imaginary, actual, physical resources. If this doesn't happen, then what is democracy? Democracy is a potentiality. Is the urge towards creativity and complexity, which exists as potential in every life, fulfilled or is it not fulfilled' If it is not fulfilled, then what is democracy? The way we see it, democracy means that those who produce the world can produce it entirely. Not that some produce it, and the rest obey”. Colectivo Situaciones, Argentina.

              Back in the old days, a 'maquila' was a “millers portion”, the amount of grain that farmers paid millers to process their grain. Now maquilas are tax-free factories set up in underdeveloped countries to produce their goods using cheap labour. In Nicaragua, 100,000 people work in maquilas, which pay $0.32/hour and violate all workers rights. The Nicaragua maquilas are virtually unknown to international public opinion, and essential to the supply of the US consumer market.
