It’s devastating to witness Brazil’s Amazon rainforest attacked by malicious chainsaws and deliberately set brush fires. Within the depths of these lush natural resources live the country’s Indigenous Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau people, a shrinking community that has been thriving off the land for centuries. With deforestation slowly encroaching on their protected lands, they look to their elder-appointed leader, 18-year-old Bitaté, to navigate how they will face these invaders. Coupled with an unsupportive government, their biggest threat is a group of small farmers who plan to develop a plot of Indigenous land with the dream of finally owning a piece of their beloved country. While some attempt to lawfully acquire the land, others are not so patient and begin taking what they feel is rightfully theirs. Outfitted with handmade bows and arrows, drones, and video cameras, Bitaté and his villagers risk their lives to defend their ancestors’ land and expose the grave dangers these invaders are bringing to the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau in THE TERRITORY. —A.B.
