Director Statement

"I made this mini-documentary with the aim of showcasing a story and an important piece of Brazilian culture through a group of Amazon jungle tourism experiences. The idea has always been to give a voice to local communities so they can showcase their greatest treasures of connection with nature. The chosen vertical format was intended for the accessibility of the target audience; my intention has always been to reach more people, and I believe that "reaching more people" comes through a device that everyone has, the cellphone. Hence the choice of this format."
