There is a war raging in the heartlands of Peru, waged on the land by the global industries plundering the Amazon and the Andes. In Saweto, charismatic activist Edwin Chota returns to his ashaninka roots, only to find that his people cant hunt for food because the animals have fled the rainforest to escape the chainsaw cacophony of illegal logging. Farmer Maxima Acuna is trying to grow potatoes and catch fish on the land she bought from her uncle - but shes sitting on top of a gold mine, and the miners will do anything to prove shes occupying her home illegally. The awajun community of the northern Amazon drink water contaminated with oil; child labourer Osman Cunachis becomes internationally famous when a photo of him drenched in petrol as part of the clean-up efforts makes it way around the world.Joseph Zarates stunning work of documentary takes three of Perus most precious resources - gold, wood and oil - and exposes the tragedy, violence and corruption tangled up in their extraction. But he also draws us in to the rich, surprising world of Perus indigenous communities, of local heroes and singular activists, of ancient customs and passionate young environmentalists. Wars of the Interior is a deep insight into the cultures alive in the vanishing Amazon, and a forceful, shocking expose of the industries destroying this land.
