Desc: Ecuador Se Levanta : Ecuador Rises: Directed by Nils Aucante, Ting Fan. Ecuador Se Levanta takes us to Ecuador following the earthquake in April, 2016, when in seconds, cities were in ruins, their residents without a home, and in beach towns that relied on tourism, most people were suddenly out of work. It's not surprising many were despondent after this catastrophe. And yet the power of solidarity and helping each other is an extraordinary force that can restore hope even in the most difficult circumstances.
