Remember Nitin Das and Dawn Mikkelson? They are the two filmmakers selected for the Grand Prizes in the 2011 Possible Futures Film Contest. In addition to a cash award, both Nitin and Dawn received a trip for two to Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest with The Pachamama Alliance, our parent organization. In August, Nitin and Dawn traveled to Ecuador for a once-in-a-lifetime experience among the volcanoes, cloud forest, and the Achuar people, an ancient indigenous community of the Amazon basin.
