SYNOPSIS
The Last Forest is about the long struggles of the Yanomami in Brazil to defend their land and their people in the Amazon region. It narrates, from the perspective of their leader, shaman Davi Kopenawa, the impact of global consumption of gold, timber, and other resources on the lives of that community and the land to which they belong.
