The Iast two surviving members of the Piripkura peopIe, a nomadic tribe in the Mato Grasso region of BraziI, struggle to maintain their indigenous way of Iife amidst the region s massive deforestation. Living deep in the rain forest, Pakyî and Tamandua live off the land reIying on a machete, an ax, and torch lit in 1998. Jair Candor, a coordinator with the Brazilian Foundation for Indigenous PeopIe, made contact in 1989 and arranged for protected status which must be renewed every two years. As time runs short, Candor, and the camera team, trek deep into the uninhabited region hoping to make contact with the men as the systemic vioIence used against indigenous Amazon people is reveaIed, a situation Iikely to become more periIous with BraziI s newIy elected President. |
