THE TERRITORY

In the Brazilian rainforest, a battle is being waged between the last of the indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau tribe and the farmers who – supported by President Bolsonaro – are slowly eating into their otherwise protected territory. But young activist and leader Bitate has no intention of giving up without a fight. Together with his mentor, Neidinha, he is mobilizing an army of self-taught journalists to patrol the jungle and catch the land grabbers in action. With a video camera as their only weapon against the chainsaws, Bitate and his men risk their lives to stop the clearing of the forest before it’s too late.
