Synopsis

Vincent Carelli's *Martyrdom* focuses on the Guarani-Kaiowá in Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil. This indigenous group, numbering around 50,000, confronts state confiscation of their ancestral lands. The conflict stems from historical injustices linked to the Paraguay War over a century ago. Carelli combines his voice with archival footage to illustrate the daily struggles and civil rights violations faced by the Guarani-Kaiowá as they seek territory demarcation.
