Xingu

Xingu tells the story of the Villas Bôas brothers, three young men who join a Brazilian government expedition into the country's central interior in the 1940s. What begins as a search for adventure turns into something else when they meet the indigenous peoples of the region and witness the damage brought by disease and outside encroachment. The brothers commit themselves to protecting these communities and their way of life, setting them against powerful political and military interests as they work toward creating a large indigenous reserve and national park.
