This is a look at the indigenous population of the Amazon who are creating teams of guardians to protect the rain forests. While sections of the forest are supposed to be protected more and more loggers and other nefarious groups are invading the forests and destroying the ecosystems for their own gain.
Full disclosure I have seen a number of the recent films on the guardians and on the populations living in the jungle. I mention this because for me watching the film I did mental comparisons to those other films…
Normally that would be a bad thing, all films should stand on their own, however in this case it’s a very good thing. The reason I can say that it’s a good thing is that if you want to know about the situation in the Amazon and you don’t want to see a number of films WE ARE THE GUARDIANS is the film you want to see. This film tells us about who is coming into the jungle, who is fighting them and it gives us a view of the people fighting to maintain their way of life. It’s a film that gives you enough information so that you clearly understand what is going on.
This is a solid film on a dire situation. Highly recommended.
