Summary:

In the summer of 2019, images of the Amazon forest colored our television screens fiery red. Millions of hectares of rainforest burned completely. Despite international outcry, little has changed since. Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is continuing at an increasing pace, causing droughts and heat waves. In the summer of 2024, Bolivia is battling record wildfires again, with worse likely ahead. The documentary visits indigenous communities surrounded by the annual fires, follows volunteer firefighters in their efforts to extinguish the flames, talks to farmers who practice slash-and-burn agriculture, and investigates a web of illegal land deals and political maneuvering.
