This episode follows the saga of two settlers - Chico and Renato - and a rarely seen and never previously photographed Indian tribe, the Uru Eu Wau Wau. Renato is a landless peasant who has been lured into the rain forest with promises of free land and big harvests. He and his neighbors slash and burn the forest to clear the land, only to discover that the soil is so poor their crops will not grow. Their farms fail, so they move deeper into the forest to start the cycle over again. The forest land is the Indian's hunting ground. In retaliation for the settlers' incursions, the Indians kidnap Chico's 7-year-old son. As the little boy's family searches for the kidnappers, the government tries to make peace with the Indians while at the same time allowing massive exploitation of their resources. By the decade's end, the fate of Chico's boy is learned; an epidemic kills many Indians; the settler's farms have failed; and more than 15 percent of the forest has been destroyed. 538 $a VHS. 650 0 $a Nature $x Effect of human beings on $z Amazon River Region. 650 0 $a Deforestation $z Amazon River Region. 650 0 $a Forest conservation $z Amazon River Region. 650 0 $a Rain forest ecology $z Amazon River Region. 700 1 $a Cowell, Adrian. 700 1 $a Kirk, Michael. 700 1 $a Lyman, Will, 710 2 $a Central Independent Television. 710 2 $a Universidade CatoÌlica de GoiaÌs. 710 2 $a WGBH (Television station : Boston, Mass.) 730 0 $a Frontline (Television program) 939 $a 1155975 941 $a 1 945 $a vhs 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160820124600.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=532111B22AD611DEA0647705A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
