One thing I found particularly worthwhile about this documentary was its willingness to show us different viewpoints regarding the difficult situation involving both the indigenous Uru Eu Wau Wau tribe and the farmers attempting to clear land for agriculture in a distant part of Brazil’s Amazon rainforest. The tribe lives within what is supposedly a protected area, always on guard against those who are destroying forests to raise cattle. Even though their actions might be unlawful, those aligned with the Bolsonara government in Brasilia don't seem inclined to uphold the boundaries of the reservation, so the Uru Eu Wau Wau have to try and protect their own land – a dangerous undertaking. The film also explores the farmers’ perspective; these are people who feel they have few options, harbor some bitterness toward the Indians, whom they believe possess an excessive amount of territory, and aren't hesitant about working hard to farm this area for their families. I imagine most viewers will likely sympathize more with the tribe, but the farmers’ story isn't without its own validity, and Alex Pritz allows both sides a chance to explain themselves and lets us form our own judgments. It does have some oddities. While maintaining their traditions, the native people use things like bicycles, digital watches, and almost everyone wears soccer jerseys – this isn't a portrayal of a society stuck in the past. And the farmers aren’t entirely shown as ruthless individuals seizing land. The film achieves a certain evenhandedness, gives us something to consider, and provides a look at the internal conflicts that ultimately benefit no one involved in this fragile environmental situation. It is definitely worth seeing. I watched it in a movie theater, but I don't think that’s really essential – it would be just as engaging on television.
