About the film

DISAPPEARING VOICES (20 minutes)

Little was known about the indigenous peoples living in Yasuní National Park until the middle of the 20th century. When oil exploration and extraction began, it also initiated a fundamental change in the cultures that have traditionally coexisted with the natural resources of the region. Produced and edited by Megan Westervelt and Jorge Castillo.

HELLBENT (20 minutes)

In a quiet rural township, America’s largest amphibian is locally threatened with extinction by the installation of an injection well, prompting biologists and community members to band together and protect their land in a novel way and save the hellbender.

About the series

Athena Cinema, University Libraries and Environmental Studies Program present the 10th annual Sustainability Film Series.
