Screening and discussion of Amazonia Inc. (with English subtitles). The forest peoples, the “anonymous” and forgotten societies of the Amazon, are having to organize themselves and form legal entities to confront the big corporations that, with the support of the governments, invade their territories.

Followed by a discussion with Beto Veríssimo, a senior researcher at Imazon, an NGO think-and-do-tank based in the Brazilian Amazon that he co-founded in 1990.
