As the Xingu indigenous live in close symbiosis with water, rivers in Sao Paulo are perishing due to worrying levels of water pollution from chemicals used in the agro-business industry and plastic. This short movie captures the relationship between the Xingu community and their river, and the emotions of one of them when he is taken to see Sao Paulo rivers. A poetic movie to denounce water pollution and the challenging prospects for the future of both indigenous people and city folks.
This short movie is part of the anthology that follows ART for The World’s successful production of Stories of Human Rights, 22 short movies commissioned by UNHCR for the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration on Human Rights.
