ABOUT THE ELLAS PROJECT:
For three months in 2022, Jade and Estelle, two 23-year-old French women, went to the Amazon accompanied by photographer Noémie Lacote, to meet women leaders within indigenous communities.
Based on the observation that indigenous peoples represent only 5% of the world population but preserve 80% of the earth's biodiversity, they wanted to mainly testify from inspired and inspiring women who have decided to take the reins of their destiny, for the benefit of all, on the themes of nature, culture, traditions, justice and the future of new generations. An approach that resonates with the ecofeminist movement particularly at work in this region.
They exchanged, interviewed and established friendships with around thirty women in Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, with the aim of making a documentary. This film is part of the climate emergency that the world is facing, and asks the question: what can these indigenous peoples of Latin America bring us?
