The Korubo People of Amazonia

This program documents a visit by Brazilian government officials to the Korubo people, hunter/gatherers of the Javari River Valley. Transcending a history of mutual distrust and violence with other groups, especially Caucasians, the Korubo warm to the camera team after receiving medical help for their malaria-stricken leader. The team’s unprecedented access leads to breathtaking, revelatory footage of Korubo hunting and fishing techniques, hygienic practices, and sophisticated technology hand-wrought from vegetation. The program underlines the importance of Brazil’s Fondaçao Nacional do Indio policy that protects Korubo land, and in so doing, protects the Korubo themselves. Contains nudity and mature subject matter. (Portions in Spanish with English subtitles, 58 minutes)
