Carlita like you have never seen or heard her! In this show, Carlita Shaw takes you on a journey to meet Pascual Kunchicuy, a Shiwiar Warrior for the Rainforest of Ecuador and Director of IKIAM. Pascual talks with Carlita about the work he has done with the Shiwar people where he was born deep in the Ecuadorian Rainforest. Carlita and Pascual talk about what work they can do together to continue to preserve the biodiversity of the rainforest and Pascual talks about how he worked to preserve the knowledge and culture of the Shiwiar people to the Ecuadorian government through his books to preserve the Shiwiar language and mapping the Shiwiar territory, before Pascual's work, no-one new of the Shiwiar people or their plight to protect their land from the oil exploitation. Carlita and Pascual explore ways to preserve the Shiwiar territory.
