A mid length observational documentary exploring the impact of Bolivian wildfires on the indigenous Ayoreo community in eastern Bolivia. The film stems from the Playing with Wildfire project (playingwithwildfire.org) and premiered in Bolivia at The FENAVID International Film Festival (Santa Cruz), and Festival Radical 2023 (Le Paz), both in October 2023. The film is currently touring film festivals. Film Synopsis: Dry season in Chochís, a town in the Bolivian Amazon. Four Ayoreo families live in a makeshift camp on the outskirts of town. They fled from wildfires that destroyed their territory. Seven decades ago they fled the forest, which was their ancestral home and provided their livelihood. A forest which is increasingly threatened. They flee poverty. Their relationship with the town’s neighbours is tense. Sometimes, they gather around a campfire and remember the forest.
