Cataloging

A bounty has been placed on Olimpio’s head by the logging mafia because he organizes patrols to protect the remaining forest in the state of Maranhão, Brazil. With no government support, he and other activists comb the region in search of criminal gangs. More than environmental protection is at stake – the forest lies at the heart of the Guajajara and Awá cultures and identities. They are prepared to risk their lives to preserve it.

"Ideal for classes in the social sciences or humanities, particularly geography, international studies, politics, or environmental studies." - Educational Media Reviews Online

"An essential teaching resource for courses in Environmental Studies, Indigenous Studies, Latin American Studies, Cultural Anthropology, and Human Geography."
"For documentary film buyers and media librarians, this is a standout addition to any film archive on global activism and conservation."
- Video Librarian
