Summary:
Films are set in the Brazilian Amazon and trace the history of three tribes on the edge of extinction. The first tells of the search for a young white settler who was kidnapped by members of the Uru Eu Wau Wau tribe, and the fate of the tribe facing invading civilization. The second chronicles the efforts of Claudio Villas Boas to first save the remnants of the Panara tribe by removing them to the safety of a national park and then returning them. In the third, Brazil's Indian agency tries to locate the remnants of the nearly extinct Ava-Canoeiro tribe.
