AINBO: Spirit of the Amazon Plot Summary and Synopsis
A girl was born and grew up in the deepest jungle of the Amazon, Candámo. Her name is Ainbo who is thirteen years old living in an uncharted civilization that rests on the back of the most powerful Mother Spirit in the Amazon, Turtle Motelo Mama. One day she discovers that her homeland is being threatened and realizes that there are other humans in the world besides her people.
As she fights to save her paradise against the logging and illegal mining, she begins to struggle to reverse this destruction and impending evil of the Yacuruna, the darkness that lives in the Amazon. Cornell DeWitt and his logging company seeks to clear a parcel of the rain forest. The entrepreneur is following rumors of a lucrative hidden mine somewhere inside the rain forest. However the loggers come at the crossroads of Ainbo’s Candámo tribe.
Overhanging a grove, Ainbo calls for Motelo Mama to get help on how to stop the upheaval of the forest. The spirit of the Amazon emerges from the waterfall. The spirit tells her only Ainbo can save the village. Thereafter, she is guided by her animal spirits, Vaca and Dillo to save her land and save her people before it’s too late.
