A documentary about the Wayana people, whose homeland is split between independent Suriname and French Guiana.

synopsis

On the border of Suriname and French Guiana, the Lawa River runs through Wayana territory, a land steeped in history, long before political borders were drawn. The Wayana people’s enduring connection to the river has sustained them for generations. While Suriname emerged from Dutch colonial rule to gain independence, French Guiana remains European soil. This unique geopolitical situation transforms the Wayana homeland into a global focal point, where ancient traditions collide with modern dilemmas.
Op de grens van Suriname en Frans-Guyana stroomt de Lawa-rivier door het Wayana-leefgebied, een regio met een rijke geschiedenis, lang voordat er politieke grenzen waren getrokken. De blijvende verbondenheid van de Wayana’s met de rivier heeft hen generaties lang in leven gehouden. Terwijl Suriname zich onttrok aan de Nederlandse koloniale overheersing en onafhankelijk werd, is Frans-Guyana nog steeds Europees grondgebied. Deze unieke geopolitieke situatie maakt het thuisland van de Wayana's tot een mondiaal brandpunt, waar oude tradities botsen met moderne dilemma's.
