Reviews
Watching this gripping documentary shot in the Brazilian Amazon, you wonder if our electoral system could learn a thing or two from the Indigenous Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau people.
The Territory succeeds and struggles in nearly equal measure, while always dedicated to it its main advocacy.
In just 83 minutes, Pritz guides us through a complex story, though at its heart it is a deceptively simple tale of underdogs fighting to protect their land and way of life.
A striking first feature for cinematographer Alex Pritz, as well as a notable collaborative work.
It’s a beautiful film, and certainly an enraging one.
Alex Pritz’s documentary provides an affecting look at indigenous lives at the frontline of deforestation in the Amazon.
A stunningly intimate look at the stakes surrounding this conflict, shot over three years with remarkable clarity and beauty by Pritz and Tangãi Uru-eu-wau-wau, a member of the tribe.
A gripping portrait of an endangered community for whom nature is both their precious environment and the facet of humanity that can all too easily be turned malicious.
It is definitely a film that makes you want to continue cutting back on red meat.
“The Territory” is more than meets the eye, revealing its most profound observations in stages across its running time.
