PASSION DOCS have release the trailer for two-time Sundance award-winning documentary, The Territory.

 

The Territory provides an immersive look at the tireless fight of the Amazon’s Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people against the encroaching deforestation brought by farmers and illegal settlers. With awe-inspiring cinematography showcasing the titular landscape and richly textured sound design, the film takes audiences deep into the Uru-eu-wau-wau community and provides unprecedented access to the farmers and settlers illegally burning and clearing the protected Indigenous land.

 

Partially shot by the Uru-eu-wau-wau people, the film relies on vérité footage captured over three years as the community risks their lives to set up their own news media team in the hopes of exposing the truth.

 

The film premieres in the UK at Sheffield Doc/Fest on 25th June, with a Q&A panel with producers Will Miller, Uchida Gabriel, and executive producer Txai Suruí.

 

Release date in US theatres: 19th August
