THE INVISIBLE FOREST - Stories from the Amazon

In a time of advanced deforestation in the Amazon, we delve into the stories of struggle and resilience of individuals who view the forest as an inseparable part of their lives. These are people who shield the forest, confront the harassment of invaders, and safeguard the transmission of their knowledge and culture in the pursuit of caring for the planet's largest tropical rainforest. This documentary uncovers their journey and dedication to preserving the Amazon's vital legacy.
