In James Cameron's film, Avatar, an alien tribe on the distant planet of Pandora fights the human invaders bent on mining their forest home. David Suzuki suggests instead of Pandora, think Peru. A country in the midst of an unprecedented resource rush, Peru has zoned over 70% of its jungle for oil development alone.

Join David in the Peruvian Amazon to weight the impact of all this heavy industry in one of the world's most biologically diverse regions. Meet the indigenous peoples who find themselves pitted against the state and powerful corporations — some of them Canadian.
