00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,199
Speaker 3: Here in the middle of the green jungle, in a

68
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,240
small indigenous community, she placed all her hopes on success.

00:07:10,199 --> 00:07:12,199
Speaker 3: She knew it wouldn't be easy to search through the

71
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:16,319
impenetrable vegetation, especially during the rainy season when the jungle

72
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:17,560
shows its wild face.

00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,439
Speaker 3: Remka felt uncertain whether Marek trusted her, but she had

86
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,000
no choice but to trust him.

87
00:08:21,439 --> 00:08:26,759

114
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:38,879

115
00:10:38,919 --> 00:10:40,759
to a small area full of rare plants.

116
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:47,399

00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 3: She learned that cooperation and respect for indigenous traditions are

128
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:44,720
key not only to success, but also to understanding the

129
00:11:44,799 --> 00:11:45,879
wealth of another culture.

00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,639
Speaker 3: As she hovered in a helicopter above the dense green

138
00:12:29,759 --> 00:12:32,559
jungle with all the colors of blooming trees and a

139
00:12:32,639 --> 00:12:35,799
smoky horizon, she knew her journey here had just begun.
