Director Statement

My main reason to produce this film is to share the legacy of a person (Aune) who always wanted to do good things for everyone, especially the forgotten people. Driven by a passion for ecology, Aune cultivated a special love for South America. Unfortunately she was betrayed by the person that came from her beloved land of Peru.
