Amazonia Eterna is a documentary film directed by Belisario Franca, which seeks to explore the Amazon rainforest, its history, the different ecosystems, and its importance as a vital source of sustenance, medicine, and well-being for people and the planet. The film takes us on an immersive journey across the Amazon basin, from the Andean highlands to the Atlantic coast, and from the Brazilian rainforest to the Venezuelan savannas, as we meet with local communities, scientists, activists, and experts who share their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives on the challenges and opportunities facing the world's largest tropical forest.

One of the main themes of the film is the cultural legacy of the Amazon, as we witness the rituals, art, music, and stories of indigenous and non-indigenous peoples who have inhabited the region for thousands of years. We learn about the cosmology, spirituality, and social organization of groups such as the Yanomami, the Kayapó, the Tapirapé, and the Paiter Suruí, and how their ways of life are intertwined with the forest, the rivers, and the animals that surround them.

The film also highlights the environmental impact of human activities in the Amazon, such as deforestation, mining, agriculture, and infrastructure development, which are threatening the biodiversity, the climate, and the livelihoods of millions of people worldwide. We see the devastation caused by illegal logging, soybean plantations, hydroelectric dams, and roads, as well as the resistance and resilience of communities and organizations that are fighting to protect the forest and their rights.

The film features captivating visuals of the Amazon's landscapes, wildlife, and people, with stunning aerial shots, underwater scenes, and intimate portraits that convey the beauty, diversity, and fragility of the region. We see jaguars, macaws, dolphins, snakes, and other creatures in their natural habitats, as well as fishermen, farmers, hunters, and healers who depend on them for survival. We also witness the effects of climate change, extreme weather events, and pollution on the forest and its inhabitants, and the urgent need for global action to address these challenges.

Ultimately, Amazonia Eterna is a call to action for viewers to recognize the value and the urgency of protecting the Amazon, not only for its intrinsic worth but also for its critical role in sustaining life on Earth. It offers a vision of a future where human societies and natural systems can coexist in harmony, respect, and reciprocity, and where the Amazon can remain an eternal source of wonder, wonderment, and wonderment.
