Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has accelerated sharply, and this film looks at why, tracing the surge back to policies under Brazil's far-right president that loosened enforcement against illegal logging and land grabs. Footage follows the men and women trying to hold the line: Indigenous patrols tracking chainsaw crews through their own territory, environmental agents working with stripped-down budgets, and activists documenting fires and cleared plots from the ground and by air. Interviews lay out the stakes in plain terms, from the carbon the forest locks away to the river systems and rainfall patterns that depend on it staying intact. The film does not treat this as an abstract crisis; it shows specific confrontations between forest defenders and the loggers and ranchers pushing into protected land, with the government's retreat from enforcement as the backdrop making those confrontations more dangerous. It closes without a resolution, because the deforestation it documents is still accelerating as the cameras roll.
