In the center of Equator Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Ilima community remains one of the most isolated in the world. They have coexisted with endangered wildlife in their surrounding forest for generations, but as the pace of development has increased, this fragile ecosystem has suffered.

This film documents our collective building process - one aimed at leveraging local craft and ecological knowledge towards education, preservation, and beauty.
