An epic, intimate documentary about one of the most important missions ever carried out in the depths of the Amazon rainforest. Bruno Pereira leads the mission to establish first contact with an isolated group of Korubo indigenous people, and broker a reunion with family members they were separated from years before. Bruno would later be murdered in the same region alongside Dom Philips, whilst trying to protect the land and rights of indigenous people, and this film is a valuable insight into his work.

"fascinating first glimpse of uncontacted Amazon tribe...It doesn’t hurt to get your image,” says one man to another, nodding towards the camera. Both men are Korubo, an Indigenous tribe that lives deep in the Amazon rainforest. The man hesitant about being filmed has never seen a camera before. He belongs to an “uncontacted” group, who have lived completely isolated from the outside world – until now." - Guardian

"Extending far beyond the conventions of pure ethnographic cinema...a wondrous record of contact with a society that has lived far from the reaches of modern life, and a bleak reminder of the voraciousness of our world." - Sheffield Doc Fest

"In many ways a classic anthropological documentary by the rules of the art. But the rapprochement with the Korubo people was such that the film offers the audience an encounter with people from a distant planet and at the same time with our closest relatives. In short, a story that connects us to ourselves" - **Winner**, Docville, Jury Prize
