Algo Debe Cambiar - (Entry #29 Short Film of the Year Awards 2022)

Diego Robles claimed the first descent of the Upper Rio Pusuno (Napo, Ecuador) in 2014, in eight years he has seen this magical whitewater river lost to the development of small-scale hydro power. This is a crisis occurring all throughout Ecuador and will continue to effect Ecuador’s most beloved paddling destinations. This story hopes to reach beyond kayaking and into the hearts and minds of river lovers everywhere, who are witnessing firsthand a globalized attack on Mother Earth’s aquatic freshwater resources.

So sad to see this Video. Al over the world it´s the same. Sad but true 😞

Algo Debe Cambiar, es la voz desgarrada de un kayaker comprometido y valiente. Este es el vídeo que hay que poner en valor. No bajamos ríos, fluimos con él, con sus bosques de rivera, con la cultura y los habitantes que la pueblan.

Keep up the good fight 💪

La historia de los ríos del Ecuador es una historia de explotación y codicia miope. Diego tiene toda la razón en cuanto a dejar atrás nuestro kayak y enfrentar el problema como humanos conscientes. ¡Ecuador sin represas

The industrial way of life is wrong. This has been going on a long time friend! You must educate your community, not work for the intrusive companies and become indigenous! You must be strong! You must step forward and continue to grow in a good direction! You know what I am speaking of and you know it is your responsibility! This comes to you brother with great love and life force for you to continue and truly live forever… blessings
