About a small tribe protecting their land against invaders. They filmed for years as the political climate changed in Brazil, and the COVID changed the trajectory of their fight. You can see pictures or read about the distraction of the Amazon, but nothing compares to a documentary to give you the full picture. Incredible and moving work from everyone involved. Captures some crazy moments and young people who step up in a time of need. Reminiscent of the American west and manifest destiny, but this time the indigenous are fighting back with more than bows and arrows. They have drones and social media show the world what is happing to theirs.

This movie cemented my love for movies the first time I saw it when I was young. It inspired me to start making movies on iMovie. I ended up studying film in school and now I am a documentary filmmaker traveling the world making documentaries. If you like westerns this is obviously a must see. The music is nothing short of amazing. Everything about this movie is great, the settings, the music (its worth repeating), and the acting. Clint Eastwood is the man and so is the supporting cast. Sergio Leone's masterpiece is slow in the best possible way. No squint or glance is forgotten. Each scene is built to perfection through music and editing. Check it out!
