Mendes, who led a movement from the small frontier town of Acre, became an international celebrity after he went on Brazilian television to fight the destruction of the Amazonian Rainforest. With ... Read More Rating: - Thought provoking action film!Raul Julia sympathetically portrays a modern icon of the environmental movement in a wonderful propoganda film. The film delves headfirst into issues of social and environmental justice and ethics. The viewer cannot come away without stirred emotions and be haunted by the images.
