Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Territory about? Toggle content

In the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, a powerful and immersive documentary follows an Indigenous community's relentless fight to protect their land from illegal deforestation and colonization. Shot partially by the Uru-eu-wau-wau people themselves, "The Territory" offers an unfiltered glimpse into their daily lives and struggles, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of their homeland and highlighting their deep connection to nature. With richly textured sound design and cinematic visuals that transport audiences directly into the jungle, this film is not just a portrayal of environmental activism - it's an experience that will leave viewers feeling like they are right there with the Uru-eu-wau-wau people as they defend their territory against formidable odds. Witness how this indigenous community has been forced to adapt in response to devastating deforestation, while simultaneously fighting for justice and recognition of their land rights. The documentary not only raises awareness about environmental issues but also sheds light on cultural survival in one of Earth's most biodiverse ecosystems. Amidst rampant forest destruction, follow these guardians of nature as they strive to preserve traditions passed down generationally - from ancestral medicine making techniques shared between generations under centuries old trees yet still standing strong alongside towering giants now felled too soon due mainly outside influence applied both illegally by loggers cutting lingering timber left behind after clearcutting operations (which still occur frequently enough these days sadly). This film takes us beyond statistics or news headlines; it puts human faces onto those who bear witness daily via presence alone – placing value upon all living things no matter what form life takes when inhabiting territories across our planet Earth today!
