THE POISONED TOWN IN PERU THAT SURVIVES WITH BITCOIN

Shocking Corruption in the High Amazon — a Peru Bitcoin Story.

In the heart of Peru’s Amazon jungle, a small town is battling a crisis that has nothing to do with cash — and everything to do with clean water.

When the government failed to act, the community stepped up… using Bitcoin.
This is the story of Juan Guerra: a village poisoned by its own tap water, abandoned by politicians, and quietly transformed by a grassroots Bitcoin movement.
In this documentary, I travel to the High Amazon to witness how locals are using sats to solve real-world problems — from water delivery to financial access.

📍 Location: Juan Guerra, Peru 🇵🇪
