Őrzők
Az Őrzők dokumentumfilm központi szereplői Marçal Guajajara bennszülött erdővédő és Puyr Tembé aktivista, akik az erdőírtástól védik területeiket Brazíliában az Amazonas folyó mentén. A filmben megismerünk egy illegális fakitermelőt, akinek nincs más választása, mint kivágni az erdőt, és egy nagybirtokost, aki több ezer betolakodó és kizsákmányoló kegyének van kitéve. A film bensőséges, karakterközpontú történetmesélésen keresztül fontos kérdéseket helyez előtérbe, mint az Amazonas esőerdejének globális klímastabilitásunkban betöltött kulcsszerepét, valamint az erdőirtás gazdasági hajtóerejét. A filmben összefonódik a politika, a történelem, a gazdaság, a tudomány és a tudatos lét.
Edivan Guajajara is from the Zutiwa village, located in Arariboia Indigenous Land (Maranhão, Brazil) and one of the creators of the communication network Mídia Índia. As an activist & filmmaker, he creates photography and documentaries centering indigenous peoples’ perspectives, showcasing their struggle of land protection and defense of Mother Earth. As a designer and video editor, he uses his gift to create art pieces that give visibility to the ongoing fight of the Brazilian indigenous peoples, a people who have resisted for 521 years. “Film has given us the opportunity to show our culture and our resistance. Today we have our own way of communicating and spreading our works so that people can know our true history and strengthen our struggle. My greatest inspiration as an indigenous is showing our reality and telling that we are also capable of being what we want to be, and showing to the world how much we indigenous peoples are important to the survival of our planet.
