The Amazon Indigenous People's Digital War (2022x14)

Data emisji: Gru 24, 2022

Brazilian President Bolsonaro seeks reelection in the October vote. He advocates putting the economy first, leading to increasing deforestation in the Amazon. Standing against this destruction are the Amazon's indigenous people, who use smartphones or drones to expose illegal logging and mining operations. They are led by Sonia Guajajara, who aims for election as federal deputy. She gains support from social media, as the indigenous people who were once scattered now unite in protest, waging a digital war for their homeland.
