This teaser was made to find more funds to approach biggest Film companies. We would like to have enough money to go back to Romaira and all the locations where will be the dams construction. 

The original idea was to make a tour to see all the steps of a dam, from the construction to the impact it will have on the population and the wild life after it’s done. 

We were wondering if it was the only choice Brazil will continue to grow as one of the main nation of the world.

We decided to make our own Teaser using the footage we have to realize a presentation of what’s happenning in the Amazonian forest ; what will become of the Branco’s river if the Brazilian Government keep on with his plan.

We shot our film during two weeks near the Brancos river . It’s more than 18 hours of interviews, more than 15 hours of landscapes , animals, people and marvelous Places

We chose 14 different people either politicians or fisherman, natives or scientist, teacher or ecologist.

We would like to thank all the people who support the project since the beginning an during the shooting of this teaser.
