Inmitten der Wirren der brasilianischen Politik und der zahlreichen sozialen und Umwelt-Rückschläge, die die Geschichte extrem rechter Regierungen in Lateinamerika geprägt haben, leisten indigene Völker weiterhin Widerstand und werden dies auch weiterhin tun, um die Kolonisierung ihrer Länder und Körper durch den weißen Mann abzuwehren. Die aktuelle Situation vereint Menschen unterschiedlicher Rassen, Hintergründe und sozialer Klassen im Kampf um Land, um das Recht zu existieren und zu koexistieren, um Autonomie über ihre Bewegungen und um zukünftige Umweltkatastrophen zu verhindern.

Im experimentellen Kurzfilm "O verbo se fez carne" nutzt der indigene Künstler Ziel Karapotó seinen Körper, um fünf Jahrhunderte der Kolonisierung anzuprangern. In "Os espíritos só entendem nosso idioma" begegnen wir einem filmischen Gedicht in der beinahe ausgestorbenen Sprache des Manoki-Volkes im brasilianischen Amazonasgebiet. Abschließend zeigt "A mãe de todas as lutas" die Stärke weiblicher Führungspersönlichkeiten im Kampf um Land, wie Maria Zelzuita, Überlebende des Massakers von Eldorado do Carajás, und Shirley Krenak, deren Leben durch den Zusammenbruch des Fundão-Staudamms in Mariana, Minas Gerais, im Jahr 2015 verkürzt wurde, der den Rio Doce verwüstete.(TO)
