When a network of Brazilian farmers seizes a protected area of the Amazon rainforest, a young Indigenous leader and his mentor must fight back in defense of the land and an uncontacted group living deep within the forest.

“THE TERRITORY” provides an immersive on-the-ground look at the tireless fight of the Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people against the encroaching deforestation brought by farmers and illegal settlers in the Brazilian Amazon. With awe-inspiring cinematography showcasing the titular landscape and richly textured sound design, the film takes audiences deep into the Uru-eu-wau-wau community and provides unprecedented access to the farmers and settlers illegally burning and clearing the protected Indigenous land. Partially shot by the Uru-eu-wau-wau people, the film relies on vérité footage captured over three years as the community risks their lives to set up their own news media team in the hopes of exposing the truth.

“Gorgeously and… ingeniously conceived,” THE TERRITORY makes “a bold statement about the lens through which indigenous peoples are often brought to the silver screen.” – IndieWire

“It’s an exceptional documentary that finds hope amid despair.” – San Jose Mercury News

“Pritz’s docu-thriller…is hard to tear away from, with moments of beauty, but also of heart-racing dread.” – BuzzFeed News
