DE EDWIN A EDWIN [From Edwin to Edwin]
An At Film from the Upper Amazon & High Andes
North American environmentalism may be causing as much harm as good in Latin America. Yet discerning a Latin American environmentalism, one heavy on both use and protection, is a challenge. Ecuadorian, but trained as a North American environmentalist, E.T.'s environmentalism changed as he tried to apply it back home. In the Upper Amazon, E.T.'s father, Edwin, built a dam. E.T. can't decide if his father is exactly the sort of environmentalist Latin America needs, or again the reason why we still need all sorts of environmentalism.
Please Note:
This is not the full film, but also not a trailer. It's perhaps best to think of as in introduction, or a "set up."
Critiques are most welcome--the film remains very much a work in progress.
