First Contact: Lost Tribe of the Amazon background

First Contact: Lost Tribe of the Amazon

In Brazil, a team of anthropologists discovers a previously unknown and isolated tribe, the Txapanawa, and gains a deeper understanding of their customs, culture, and unique way of life.

In the lush jungles of South America, where Brazil and Peru meet, a team of anthropologists stumbles upon isolated tribes living untouched by the outside world. Through patient communication and the aid of translators, they uncover the tribes' harrowing stories of encounters with ruthless rubber barons and the devastating effects of past invasions. As the anthropologists work to facilitate the tribes' integration into modern society, a poignant and thought-provoking exploration of cultural preservation and the complexities of progress unfolds.
