Yasuni - two seconds of life

Ecuador/USA/AT 2010, 90 min, Leonardo Wild

In Ecuador, the Yasuni National Park is one of the sites with the greatest biodiversity on our planet – and it also  holds a big part of Ecuador´s oil reserves.  Ecuador´s president Rafael Correa has made an  extraordinary proposal: If the world will pay for protection of  it‘s green lungs, Ecuador will leave the oil in the ground and  will invest in renewable energy.
Yasuni – Two Seconds of Life by Ecuadorian filmmaker  Leonardo Wild explains this unique and complex case and  gives speech to all parties involved.
