The Territory
“The battle for home.”
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.
This film feels like a visceral, urgent call to action. It's a raw, immersive experience that evokes both the profound beauty of a threatened world and the fierce, unwavering spirit of those fighting to protect it. Expect a deeply moving and galvanizing watch, filled with tension and defiant hope.
