Brazil : The Fight for Land
21 minutes, 1998
Ref: 33

500 years ago, Portugal claimed Brazil as its own. But there's been little celebrating by the Pataxo Indians, the indigenous people who first met the Portuguese. They're fighting a latter-day range war to regain thousands of hectares of traditional lands, and against the odds, they believe they'll achieve at least partial success. Legal action has been stalled for 18 years, and now Indians and farmers have begun fighting and dying over the disputed land.
