The Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people have seen their population dwindle and their culture threatened since coming into contact with non-Native Brazilians. Though promised dominion over their own rainforest territory, they have faced illegal incursions from environmentally destructive logging and mining, and, most recently, land-grabbing invasions spurred on by right-wing politicians like President Jair Bolsonaro. With deforestation escalating as a result, the stakes have become global.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Alex Pritz constructs a chronicle of resistance, relying on remarkable access to the Uru-eu-wau-wau community. The film explores not just the external conflict with land-grabbers, but the internal shift as a new generation adopts cameras as tools for survival.

What lingers after viewing is a potent blend of urgent vérité and intimate portraiture, where a local struggle resonates with global consequence. It is a sobering and essential document of our time. — MovieFinder Editorial
