this is not good..."

"White people only bring us problems,

and destroy our forest,

I'm very tired to work all day

to feed my family,

and then at night

I have to make my 3 wives happy."

That hasn't happened in a long time

Where is Luacema?

Luacema...

Luacema stays in seclusion,

it's our way of learning,

like you have the schools.

She is learning to be

a good wife, cook.

She also learns to raise children,

sing and dance...

Take care of her husband

Men also go in seclusion,

to learn how to be

a good husband, and father.

You have a god named Jesus.

We have a god too.

Name is Mavutsinim.

Mavutsinim stays now behind my shoulder,

Mavutsinim says to your god,

respect our religion,

and we will respect yours.

Respect our land and water,

we will respect yours.

That's beautiful, I will remember that.

He says he is serious now,

and that you owe him your life.

He is asking you to help them

with the film you are making.

He wants the world to leave them alone

with their tradition.

I will do my best.

Was I good?

Very good!

Sorry, but they can't let you stay,

you did what you have to do.

Time to move on.

It's better to

leave this people alone anyway.

Finish your film will be more useful.

Segno Roberto,

now I understand why you stay,

wish I could.

Thank you for everything.

You're welcome.

Go away, gringo!

Nice to meet you too, Gromac.

Keep moving, don't stop!

Keep sawing!

Tear it all down!

Stop!

STOP!

I came back, of course.

Children of the tree,

Feel in your flesh the mutilated corpses

drifting to the logging plants.

What a waste!

The spectacular vanity of progress

Destroys the rainforest

without a trace.

Indian, last human shields

to protect it,

the Indians never asked for anything.

My destiny entwines with theirs,

ineluctably.

I knew you would come back!

Pira, oh, you kept my hat.

Give me back my hat.

Why do you come back?

Oh, I came back to show you something.

Is that a television?

And this is a present for Ayupu.

Where is Roberto?

Roberto is sick with malaria.

He's in Rio de Janeiro.

Gromac is the boss now.

Passport!

- Passport? - Yes.

Do you have a permit this time?

This is our land,

you're not even from here.

Juste take care of the post,

and don't tell us what to do.

Go to hell!

I'll keep the passport then!

You'll see what happens!

Luacema?

Luacema is still in seclusion.

We don't write,

that is why your work

is important to us,

future generations will remember

how we lived.

Thanks a lot Ayupu.

You can speak to the monkeys!

Nicolas, the monkeys

are worried like I am

about the destruction of our forest.

Go and see for yourself,

it's not far.

Senseless industrial society,

you cannot survive

without devouring your own entrails.

I choose my side, the side of life.

The loggers are inside our reservation!

We must attack now, and kill them!

I hear you, calm down.

We must go there, talk to them,

make them understand

that they are wrong.

If they don't listen,

then we'll go to war.

Gromac wants to see Nicolas

at the post.

Tell him I don't want it, it's a trap.

He wants to arrest me

and confiscate me the film.

Come with us then, bring your camera.

Rainforest, cradle of biodiversity,

marvel of ingenuity, new species,

magical nature

that we pollute and destroy

as fast as we can.

The river bends,

like those of my destiny,

Iead to unavoidable confrontation.

Dead trees,

Like sentinels overlooking,

guarding the killing fields

of the world's largest rainforest.

Let's go to the other side,

talk to their chief!

Now play!

Don't look at me, you stupid idiot.

You are destroying our forest,

this is our land.

You must leave.

What did he say?

Leave now.

It took him so long just to say that?

Stay right there!

What's your name, chief?

We're only doing our job.

I also have a family to feed.

I am not your enemy,

I want to be your friend.

You are not my friend!

Wait chief,

I can buy many things for you.

You want a new engine for your canoe?

Money, do you want money?

Who is this guy?

Come here!

Put your camera down!

Put it down!

No film here,

you are a foreigner, what is your name?

For Indians we are all foreigner

I say what is your name?

Nicolas.

This gringo is trouble.

Take it easy, mister Ferra!

What are you doing here, Nicolas?

Helping my friends,

against you I guess.

With this to show the world

what you're doing.

This is my last warning, leave,

and never come back.

Or we will kill you all!

Enough.

Yes, I have enough.

Don't go chief, let us be friends!

I'll get you!

Get off, a**holes!

Don't look at them!

Or we'll have to fight.

Look, there is a white man with them!

Weird!

It looks so strong,

but just this can stop it! Look!

Look!

And if that doesn't work,

you can also do this.

Two arrows, in there

and this monster will sing like a bird.

Rain is coming to ruin the ceremony.

I must take care of it!

Yes, do it.

The Shaman floats in the deep waters

of our dreams,

in balance between this world

and the perfect world of the spirits.

Go away, rain cloud!

Of course, it's just

when I'm reloading my old camera

that the impossible happens,

right in front of me.

I can see but not film.

Why?

When I tell this story,

nobody will trust me.

Nobody,

- you saw it. - Yes

Better you missed it!

Why?

Magic.

You may be right...

There she is!

Beautiful Amazon women,

wearing feathers like men.

I like to believe the myth that,

sometimes you attack villages, at night,

to kidnap young men and seduce them

to force them to procreate.

Daughter, I'm proud,

you've learned well in seclusion.

Out of the sun,

your skin is milky white.

When I cut your hair,

you'll become a woman.

You can marry the man of your choice.

Nicolas, she likse you

No she likes Tapi more.

No she likes you.

No she likes Tapi more.

She likes me.

Gromac.

My friend.

Come back in a while!

It's to take out the bad blood,

and make me strong, right?

I understand but it hurts.

Your Indian name is Zaguma.

Which means?

White ass!

Police.

Oh! Sh*t. Man.

Chief, you're my friend

and I want to help.

This foreigner is not authorized

to stay here.

We're going to arrest him

My chief says Nicolas is our guest.

No one will arrest him.

Tell your chief he must respect the law,

like any Brazilian!

And I represent the law here!

So, we'll take him out, all right?

If you want to take him,

you'll have to take all of us.

Mister Ferra, let's leave.

Shut up!

It's better if you leave.

You shut up as well!

Nicolas, I know you are in there.

I give you ten seconds to came out.

After that you will be a fugitive

from the law,

That is done gringo,

I get you sooner!

Be careful, they are dangerous!

We will talk again later.

Son of a b*tch!

How do you say I love you?

I love you.

I love you too, white ass.

Nicolas!

Zaguma, Ayupu wants to talk to you!

He said the loggers are back,

and now it's war, right?

Yes, it is war.

Look.
