Os Arara

This film documents the efforts of the Frente de Atração Arara da Funai in Pará, Brazil. With the construction of the Transamazônica highway, the Arara territory is severely threatened, leading to violent confrontations between the Arara and construction workers.

Narrated by sertanista Sydney Possuelo, the documentary reveals the complexities of contact between indigenous groups and outsiders. Possuelo's expeditions aim to assess the population of the Arara and establish territorial boundaries to safeguard their land from invaders and logging activities.

Os Arara serves as an important visual record of indigenous rights and environmental issues, making it relevant to those interested in documentaries focused on cultural preservation and ecological concerns.
