Abstract
This documentary film follows the lives of two communities in the Amazon state of Maranhão, Brazil, who are
resisting ecoviolence and attempting to retain their traditional, and
more sustainable, life systems. The Quilombola community – descendants of escaped slaves – in Boa
Hora3/Manorama have been living off the land for generations. The Ka’apor
Indigenous community have been resisting settler violence since the beginning of colonisation. They face
ongoing ecoviolence in the form of assassinations of their leaders and
landgrabbing by local farmers.
