- Synopsis
- Valley of the Forgotten is a documentary feature that shows the conflict for land in a very secluded área of the state of Mato Grosso, where violence and fire stand for the interests of opponent groups: indians evicted from their homeland, squatters trying to get a piece of land to make a living, land grabbers illegally invading properties, the Landless Workers Movement waiting for government decisions and the ranchers fighting to hold on to their property. A chronicle about the innate desire of the human being to own a piece of land, a portrait of life in the Amazon, a film that tells the story of a piece of Brazil, at war against itself.
