Kayapo, The: Out of the Forest

Synopsis: Early in 1989 the Kayapo rallied other Brazilian Indians to attend a re-unification of the tribes at Altamira - the proposed site of a massive hydro-electric dam that will flood large parts of the Xingu valley. Focuses on the Kayapo’s ability to manipulate the media including Chief Rop-ni stage-managing his entrance to arrive with pop star Sting. Much of the tension in the film revolves around the intricate planning behind the Altamira meeting. RAI*
