El Pico Duarte 1985 Directed by Claudio Chea
A reckoning and a warning against deforestation, blending poetic landscape photography, scientific discourse, and rural testimonies. On their way to Pico Duarte, the filmmakers meet Juan Canela, protector and guardian of the Cordillera Central, as described in the merengue composed for the film: the man who came and learned to talk to the pines.
