This multiple award winning documentary follows filmmaker Denise Zmekhol into the Amazon in search of the indigenous Surui and Negarote children she photographed 15 years ago. Her journey tells the story of activists like Chico Mendes who risked their lives to forge an alliance between indigenous people and the exploitive rubber tappers.

This film will be be shown with a short video about Chief Almir and his partnership with Google Earth Outreach founder Rebecca Moore.

Special Guests: Chief Almir Narayamoga Surui, Rebecca Moore, and Filmmaker Denise Zmekhol.
