The film follows an OMCT mission in Brazil, accompanied by the sponsor and actress Noémie Kocher, showcasting defenders of indigenous peoples rights, Megaron and Davi Yanomami Kopenawa.
The documentary illustrates the challenges and threats facing the indigenous Yanomami and Kayapo and their defenders in relation to the construction of the Belo Monte hydroelectric dam and illegal mining in Amazonia.
