We Are Guardians

Every day, people of indigenous descent in the Amazon put their lives on the line to protect the Brazilian forest from destruction. They warn of the catastrophic climatic consequences that will result from the deforestation of the green lungs of the earth. In the poignant documentary WE ARE GUARDIANS, directors Edivan Guajajara, Chelsea Greene and Rob Grobman follow indigenous resistance fighters as they struggle tom protect their homeland in various ways. The heart-breaking scenes of the devastated Amazon make clear how urgently the local peoples deserve attention.
