I recently returned from a month-long trip to Ecuador to film a documentary entitled Ikiam, about oil exploitation in the Amazon rainforest. The project was organized by an Australian non-profit organization called Nomadic Hands. A large portion of my time in Ecuador was spent deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon, living with the Shiwiar indigenous peoples in a community called Juyuintza.
Suffice to say, it was an extraordinary and transformative experience and I am looking forward to writing more about it soon, but in the meantime I wanted to share some photos taken over the course of my month in South America.

Very cool stuff, I especially like the black and whites, and the shots of the children.
Looking forward to hearing more about the whole experience.

Great stuff, Erik! I’m thrilled to hear about all the amazing projects TSS alumni have been pursuing around the world. I look forward to the day we all come together again for some special purpose….
