We Are Guardians - English subtitled
Documentary about the fight to preserve the Brazilian Amazon rainforest.
In the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, thousands of people are unlawfully invading protected lands, devastating centuries-old forests for resources and fast profits. With the health of the entire Amazon at stake, will Brazil and the world take action?
Indigenous forester Marçal Guajajara and indigenous leader Puyr Tembé stand at the frontlines of this battle, risking their lives to protect their ancestral lands from relentless invasions and deforestation. On the other side, we find Valdir, an illegal logger, who is trapped in a desperate struggle to make ends meet and sees no other way than continuing to cut down the forest.
Through a tapestry of voices, this documentary provides a raw and intimate look at the lives of those closest to the Amazon and peels back the layers of this critical situation to reveal a story that ultimately affects all of us.
