Aguilucho: Dance of the Harpy Eagle

In the remote Darién Gap rainforest, indigenous communities face an existential threat to their way of life and the ecosystem upon which they rely. When a rare Harpy Eagle nest is discovered near their community, the Emberá tribe of Playa Muerto find an unlikely ally. By protecting their lands and the Eagle's habitat, they can benefit from the ecotourism she attracts, and reconnect with their own traditional heritage. This film is an exploration of this renewed relationship between the tribe and the great raptor that provides an inspiring model for conserving both a culture and a rainforest.
