The Brazilian government is planning to build a vast number of big dams on the rivers around the Amazon Rainforest, destroying biodiversity and disrupting the way of life of thousands of Amerindians and local populations. Now that the work is well under way on the huge Belo Monte dam, on the Xingu river, the government is pushing ahead with its next big project - a series of dams on the Tapajós river. But 12,000 Munduruku Indians, long feared as warriors, live here and are fighting back. This documentary, filmed in late 2013 and early 2014, looks at life in a Munduruku village, where traditional skills are practised and children are brought up with remarkable freedom. It documents the growth of resistance, even among the women, not traditionally fighters, some of whom are emerging as guerreiras (woman warriors). Please consider making a donation, if you can! Contributions can be made from $1, but special perks from the Amazon Rainforest are given to those who can contribute more generously. Help the Munduruku Indians in their struggle for respect of the Indigenous rights. https://indiegogo/…/munduruku-campaign-campanha-mun… From The Heart There are only a couple more days left to donate, any amount will help, if you can!
