This documentary gives an overview of the Video in the Villages project (Projeto Video nas Aldeias), which was founded in 1987 to give indigenous communities control over their own images. The video details the project's achievements, including the creation of an indigenous television show for a local public access station, the organization of the National Encounter of Indigenous Filmmakers, and the use of video to advance each community's particular political goals. Includes interviews with videomakers and community members, and behind-the-scenes shots of the conceptualization and execution of the community-based videos.
