Territory, The
When a network of Brazilian farmers seizes a protected area of the Amazon rainforest, a young Indigenous leader and his mentor must fight back in defence of the land and an uncontacted group living deep within the forest.
Directed by Alex Pritz and produced by Darren Aronofsky, THE TERRITORY was the winner of both the Audience Award and the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film festival. An urgent and visually stunning journey though the difficult and dangerous intersection of where politics and the environment meet, this is an immersive on-the-ground look at the tireless fight of the Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people against the encroaching deforestation brought by farmers and illegal settlers in the Brazilian Amazon.
Portuguese and Tupi languages, English subtitles.

“Bursting with rip-roaring intensity, (THE TERRITORY) captures a high-stakes struggle for survival” - IndieWire
