First Contact/End of Eden

“A remarkable tale, sensitively handled” Daily Telegraph

“Haunting and moving in equal measure…almost hypnotic” Guardian

 

In June 2014, the world was transfixed by images of men emerging from the deepest Amazonian rainforest for the first time. This tribe were among the last people living on our planet who have had no contact with the outside world.

With exclusive access to the tribe, this film explores how they lived, why they had remained isolated for so long and what finally brought them out. It journeys to the remote headwaters of the Amazon to discover a war going on, uncovering a story of illegal loggers and gold miners, drug traffickers and murder.

Among the many questions FIRST CONTACT/END OF EDEN seeks to answer, one thing is certain – that these are the last days of the last uncontacted people on earth.
