Chico Mendes, a Brazilian environmentalist, was assassinated in 1988, marking a significant moment in the struggle for Amazonian conservation.

Filmmaker O'Connor documents key events during this period and analyzes the interactions between semi-isolated indigenous societies and external forces. The film provides a detailed account of the challenges faced by these communities amid rapid change.
