The struggle to protect Paraguay's last uncontacted Indigenous communities
In short: In the heart of the Gran Chaco, the Ayoreo people are facing an existential threat. This video follows Taguide Picanerai as he fights to defend ancestral lands against rapid deforestation and protect relatives living in voluntary isolation.
The film documents the urgent situation of the Ayoreo people, specifically focusing on the efforts of Taguide Picanerai, the son of an Ayoreo chief. As the Gran Chaco region faces intense environmental pressure, Taguide works to secure land rights for his people.
A central focus of the narrative is the protection of uncontacted Indigenous communities. These groups choose to live in voluntary isolation, making the preservation of their territory a critical matter of human rights and cultural survival.
