- As valuable wood like mahogany quickly disappears all across the Peruvian Amazon, confrontations between illegal loggers and "isolated" people are accelerating in the last pockets of pristine rainforest in the Department of Madre de Dios. In Southeastern Peru on a state reserve for "people in voluntary isolation," deaths from poison arrows are easy to document, yet it is unclear how many "uncontacted", nomadic people have died from shotgun blasts and contact with outsiders because of their lack of immunity to disease. Chainsaws and Arrows gives a glimpse into a complex struggle for the rights to the last of this wilderness. From the unchecked invasion of protected territory, to extreme poverty and social injustice, this investigation by Isabel Sande Frandsen and Adam M. Goldstein uncovers a web of corruption that stretches from the upper reaches of the Las Piedras and Tahuamanu Rivers all the way to the Congress in Lima.
- A couple in Moyobamba, Peru struggle to maintain a reserve for an endangered species of monkey. During the course of an especially trying month, they focus their efforts on the survival of two infant monkeys (Yumi and Tumai), both rescued from illegal captivity. Highlighted by the energetic music of Sonido Verde de Moyobamba (Green Sound of Moyobamba), and against the backdrop of a group of orphan monkeys being readied for a return to the wild, "Yumi Means Rain" is set in the little-known towns and native communities of Northern Peru's disappearing cloud forests.
