TOXIC: AMAZÔNIA
Tuesday, April 3rd from 5:00-6:30pm
Mary Gradon Center, Room 247
In this moving documentary, Toxic: Amazonia, film-maker and journalist Felipe Milanez, interviews scientists, policy-makers, local activists, and victims of violence to provide a human picture of the factors that threaten the largest remaining tropical rainforest on earth and its inhabitants. The film is a complex view of one moment in history -- the brink of Brazil's consideration of its newly proposed Forest Code -- and the social, economic, and political issues that are called into play. It depicts the conflict between the right to develop and the right to preserve.The film shows the heroic struggle of José Cláudio Ribeiro da Silva and Maria do Espírito Santo. These two individuals lived in the Amazon, fought for the Amazon's protection and were eventually murdered in the Amazon.
