The Curse of Abundance

In the heart of Ecuador's Amazon rainforest lies Yasuni National Park, a haven of biodiversity and home to two uncontacted indigenous tribes. The park also sits atop a third of Ecuador's oil reserves, making it a ticking time bomb for the environment and the people who call it home. In 2019, Ecuador proposed a revolutionary initiative to leave the oil in the ground in exchange for financial compensation from the international community. But as powerful interest groups emerge, the future of the park and its inhabitants hangs in balance. Will the curse of abundance prove too great, or can the world come together to save this precious ecosystem? "The Curse of Abundance" is a gripping documentary that explores the complex web of money, morality, and climate change.
