- Synopsis
- In 2020, fires razed more than 7.7 million hectares of forests across Amazonia. Bolivia and Brazil were two of the worst affected countries. While the world fails to agree on effective mesasures to limit climate change, indigenous peoples on the frontlines have been impelled to organize and take action against the fires that rage across their ancestral territories, threatening their future survival and that of all life on earth. This short film follows Indigenous Fire Brigades in Bolivia and Brazil as they struggle to meet one of the most difficult challenges facing their communities.
