Puritama

Synopsis

The Puritama Reserve is a territory of ancestral routes that today offers us clues as to how crucial this place was to the cultural and ecological identity of the region. Here, the word "preserve" takes on a double meaning: on the one hand, it speaks to us of the urgent need to protect a territory so that it continues to exist, and on the other, it invites us to reflect on how to allow people to approach and learn from it in a genuine way. This is not just a documentary about conservation, but a reflection on how the relationship between humans and the territory visited has changed, a testimony to what it was like to grow up there, and a reminder that sometimes, in order to ensure the existence of a place, there must be planned intervention.
