Infanticide in the Amazon, 23-minutes, 2008 (Ref: 623) |

The Deni tribe lives
deep in the jungle of the Amazon in Brazil. They and
other tribes have the tradition to kill unwanted
children after they are born. Handicapped babies are
buried alive or killed by breaking their neck.
Missionary Márcia Suzuki tries to save these
children by taking them from their tribe. Brazilian
authorities are fiercely opposed to this and accuse
Márcia of kidnapping. The question is whether Indian
culture should always be respected? And, does saving
the lives of these children amount to destroying an
age-old culture? We visit and speak with members of
the tribe who have killed their children, the
tribe’s medicine man, Márcia and the Brazilian
government spokesman for Indian affairs. |
