The Territory

The indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people have felt threatened since the 1980s, the first time anyone from the outside first entered their territory. They live in the rapidly disappearing Brazilian rainforest, where logging and farming are encroaching on the land. The tribe has no support from the government, as President Bolsonaro actually supports the deforestation. They have decided to defend themselves using new technology: drones monitor the felling of the rainforest, and a special media team has been assembled to broadcast their honest reports to the world. This proves to be crucial when Covid-19 starts to spread rapidly in Brazil, and the Uru-eu-wau-wau isolate themselves from the surrounding world in fear of the virus. (One World)
