In May 2005 Tupinikim and Guarani peoples in Espirito Santo, Brasil
continued a long struggle to self-demarcate 11,009 Hectares of their
lands from Norwegian Multinational, Aracruz Cellulose. In this
inspiring and courageous action the people explore the affects that the
exploitation, coersion and racism from the company has had on their
livelihoods and demonstrate how detrimental the Green Desert has been
on their lives and culture. This striking film shows through action,
dance and music exactly how a community can organize together to fight
a powerful multinational and through the articulate voices of the
people demonstrates what is important to their struggle; rights to
their lands.
