Summary
The Venezuelan plains are one of the most productive ecosystems on Earth, the Orinoco River, considered to be the third most important river basin in the world, forms part of them, and make up the third largest wetland in South America.
Nevertheless, their value and importance has not been made known to the general public at large.
Today their fragility also endangers an increasingly scarce world resource: fresh water.

Ana Cristina Henriquez about her film:
When I started to shoot the documentary "Tierras de agua dulce" (Freshwater Lands) I was inspired to reveal the importance of conserving the llanos (plains) as a bio diverse territory for the Venezuelan people, later by the desire to make known the importance of this wetlands for the South American continent and finally I realised how crucial this water resource is for an increasing arid world.
