THE STORY

In the heart of the Amazon Rainforest, the Indigenous forest guardians stand at the frontlines of the fight to protect their ancestral lands from relentless invasions and deforestation.

As more and more people illegally invade their lands each year, devastating centuries-old forests for resources and fast profits, these small groups of guardians risk everything to protect their forest and way of life.

Now, as the health of the entire Amazon teeters at the edge, will Brazil and the world take notice?

We Are Guardians offers an intimate portrayal of the lives ensnared within this crisis, bringing a multitude of voices from this complex landscape to the forefront. Indigenous forest guardian Marçal Guajajara and Indigenous leader Puyr Tembé stand at the frontlines of this fight, risking everything to protect their ancestral lands and way of life from relentless invasions and deforestation.

"To them, the Amazon is not just home—it is life itself, worth every sacrifice to ensure its survival for future generations."
