Xingu -- O Filme

Not really directly part of the Rio+20 programming, but an important and timely film, given the continued infrastructure and agribusiness push into the Central West and Amazon and the continued genocidal results for the regions' Indigenous communities and cultures.  The film itself is well done, though the tone is a bit overly epic and edges toward the melodramatic.  For the amount of history it tries to cover, I would have preferred to see a documentary, but I hope it's a success with the public, and it's certainly something I would consider screening for students and faculty at Smith as soon as the DVD is out....
