Deep in the Peruvian Amazon, indigenous tribes are doing everything they can to save their home from exploitation. Vice travels to where multinational energy companies have been drilling for lucrative natural resources to see how large-scale mining is decimating the land.

With the native Harakmbut people as his guide, Ben Anderson goes into the forest to explore sacred landmarks they hope will stop these companies from destroying it for a profit.
