ABOUT THE FILM The Territory is a visually lush and gripping portrait of the Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people and their heroic efforts to fend off illegal land grabs in the Amazon during the reign of right-wing Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. Deftly navigating the complex environmental, cultural and political issues at stake, filmmaker Alex Pritz also shares the perspectives of local farmers trying to form a settlement in the area and a group of homesteaders determined to clear-cut the forest before anyone can stop them. The film demonstrates the material and emotional costs of deforestation in the world’s largest tropical Rainforest.
