This is Our Everything

Frederik Subel

The Guajajara people decide not to stand idly by while their land and that of the uncontacted Awá people is being destroyed. They put together a group of forest guardians who are determined to defend the Amazon rainforest - if necessary with their own lives. Without any support from the government, they patrol one of the last remaining rainforests in the state of Maranhão, east of the Amazon in Brazil. They also share their land with the Awá, one of the last uncontacted people in the world, who are under great threat. Poor equipment, no pay and the constant threat of the logging mafia does not deter them from standing up for their land. But their work is dangerous. Olimpio, the leader, has a price on his head.
"This is Our Everything" tells the story of a people whose world is crumbling around them. For Olimpio and the forest guardians there is more at stake than just protecting the environment. They are fighting for the survival of their cultural heart and identity.
