A Última Floresta

No narration, just Yanomami indigenous people vibing in the forest telling us how they lived peacefully before the gold prospectors came along and put their entire existence at risk.

Powerful, devastating, beautifully shot, important, and yet another sad reminder that capitalism & colonialism destroys everything.

It's important to give indigenous communities a voice. They are there lung of the world. They know how earth works as they in harmony with her. Modern men usually don't know the cycles of nature anymore. Hence they don't know the impact of their life style on the planet.

Watching this movie I learned that it is hard to understand the rituals and although I have had some education in regard to indigenous life.

I fear that the message of the movie will not be understood by those who should.

It would help to include in movies like this what rituals they are doing and for what reason.

Including their understanding of spirit and their communication with the other world.

When the ore is dug then the disease comes from the ground. So it is in their creation story of two brothers etc...Almost prophetic in what happens to these tribes on the Amazon. Gold drilling and digging brings mercury to the water supply and so we have the skeleton of this film but there is so much more. Everyone should see this.

Fantastic, perfect! Yanomami indigenous people tell their own tale about the arrival of gold diggers invading their territory.

Understatements. Everything I could say about this powerful sharing would be an understatement. It is beautiful, devastating, poignant, hilarious, haunting. It is us. What we should be. I dare you not to see the world and your life differently after watching this.
