Contents/Summary
- Summary
- "Corumbiara" tackles the issue of Brazil’s population of displaced peoples. The director has been shedding light on indigenous issues for more than 20 years, giving tribes the tools to share their own stories. In the mid-’80s, he captured footage of a native tribe that had never before encountered white people. The video of astonished Indians aired at the time as a segment on a popular newsmagazine program, Fantástico. In "Corumbiara", Carelli returns to this material, exploring it in-depth. Alongside a representative of FUNAI (Fundação Nacional do Índio), Carelli enlists members of the Canoê people to gather evidence of a massacre that took place in 1987 and to document the existence of another threatened tribe. The true subject of the film becomes the steady attrition of native populations and how all efforts to prevent it, including the filmmakers’ at documenting them, contribute to their demise.
