- Summary:
- The Xavante Indians in Eteniritipa in Brazil face pressure from the government to open up the river, which sustains them, to commercial traffic. This documentary is the Xavante people's challenge to the world. The message comes to us not through conventional narration, but the voices of the village elders themselves. Can such distinct and self-sufficient cultures survive in this age of global capitalism?
