Irregular and unfocused film, with many ups and downs. Beautiful footage but mostly poor testimonies. Orlando Villas-Boas, Darcy Ribeiro and Aílton Krenak, besides informations about Rondon, are great contributions, but what the hell are those neoliberals such as Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Miriam Leitão pretending to care about Amazon? It is hard to understand what filmmakers intended to do. Alternatively, they did not understang anything at all... Indeed, it is the most probable, as environmentalist actors who appeared in the film have been supporting politically market lobbyist politicians who led to deforestation and to attacks against native people... Although Amazon exploitation and military dictatorship are closely related, the film does not relate them systhematically either, prefering to scatter loose testimonies that did not always contribute to a coherent narrative. Anyway, seeing Christiane Torloni is nice, despite her voluntarist "Rede Globo" right-wing narrow political understanding and many "clever" grimaces. However, supporting 2016 coup and Carwash lawfare as she did but saying in the film that "democracy was being destroyed by democracy itself, through corruption", is something so stupid! A final example: they talk in the documentary about the disaster of Doce river in 2015, but there is not a single line about privatization of Vale, the greedy responsible for the accident. Perhaps they are planning a huge hug around rainforest to save the world...
