About the Film:

Tribes on the Edge – an independent documentary directed and produced by Céline Cousteau, explores the timely topics of land threats, health crises, and human rights issues of the indigenous peoples of the Vale do Javari in the Brazilian Amazon, expanding the view to how this narrative is relevant to our own lives. This is a story that invokes the critical importance of respect and care – for land, culture, and humanity. Our survival may depend on it.

Home to 6 recognized tribes plus the largest concentration of un-contacted indigenous peoples in the entire Amazon (and some say the world), the indigenous territory of the Vale do Javari in the Brazilian Amazon spans 85,000 Sq KMs (the size of Portugal) and has been listed as ‘irreplaceable” by the IUCN because of its incredible biodiversity. Considering there is no deforestation in the Amazon where there are indigenous territories, this human presence provides a barrier to the destruction of the ecosystem and its flora and fauna. With the current assault on the Brazilian Amazon and its inhabitants because of political and economic interests, there is urgency for this story to be shared.

The peoples of the Javari face threats to their survival because of encroaching illegal activities such a hunting, fishing and gold mining. The Brazilian government led by Bolsonaro is slowly dismantling all protection of their land and their human rights. Each day these 5000 indigenous warriors are fighting to protect their home and protect those living in isolation. This fight is relevant to all of us because they act a crucial barrier to deforestation and thus are a stronghold for climate change mitigation and preservation of biodiversity.

Humans and nature are intimately interconnected. Where there is environmental destruction, humans suffer. In the Brazilian Amazon, where there are indigenous communities, there is no deforestation. If they vanish, we lose the guardians of vital ecosystems and thus may lose that ecosystem as a result. More than a film, it has grown into a movement driven by a passionate effort to enact tangible impact in the through Action, Communication and Education (ACE) initiatives. Tribes on the Edge reminds us all that our survival depends on our actions - to support and protect the people and the ecosystems they safeguard for the benefit of us all.
