The Burning Season
Directed by John Frankenheimer
A sobering biographical drama about environmental activism and indigenous resistance in the Amazon, grounded in real tragedy and the moral weight of fighting entrenched power.
Based on the true story of a Brazilian rubber tapper who leads his people in protest against government and developers, who want to cut down their part of the rainforest for a new road and ranch land. The rich and the powerful will stop at nothing, and frequently resort to murder
