The Territory
The battle for home.
Overview
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.

What I rather appreciated about this documentary film is that it presents us with a couple of perspectives to the dilemma faced by both the indigenous Uru Eu Wau Wau tribe and of the would-be farmers who are bent on deforestation in Brazil's remote Amazon rainforest.
