The aerial adventure continues with Part Two. Kevin Roache, a commercial jetliner pilot, flying a group of indigenous women over the area where the Costa Rican government has plans to erect what would be Central America?s largest dam. This enormous hydroelectric dam on Rio de Terraba, whose power output is destined for Mexico and the United States, would flood an expansive area of lowland tropical rainforest and put the homes of the Boruca Indian people under hundreds of feet of water. With a view from above, the stakes for development at the expense of the natural ecosystem and its inhabitants looks even higher.
