Web documentary composed of five episodes (www.genteawa.com.br). The series draws a parallel between two indigenous cases: the Awá-Guajá, Maranhão, and the Guarani-Kaiowá, Mato Grosso do Sul. Through dialogue with indigenous leaders, thinkers and experts in the field, seeks to show that the challenge for the territory continues marking the indigenous communities of Brazil 's twenty-first century.
In "Outdoor Dreams," the narrative constructed by the camera gives us a sensitive perception of the individuals who communicate daily and silently their dreams and their willingness to be part of the city. We know a little human that exists behind the great banners of advertisers. People of different nationalities sharing ambitions, needs and conflicts, living in a different culture.
Project developed by Noctua, in 2014, held in partnership with IWGIA (NGO expert in Indigenous Affairs, headquartered in Denmark). The documentary puts under discussion the protection policy for indigenous people in recent contact and voluntary isolation, from the perspective of Korubo; ethnic group that inhabits the Javari Valley in the state of Amazonas (Brazil).Best film at Pachamama Festival.
