VA5, Ep. 13 ,Lost in the Mysteries of The Amazon’s Blue Waters

We follow the Amazon River, led by Loren McIntyre, into the Xingú Sanctuary. He witnessed the Cerulean River before the Belo Monte Dam. The twisting and remote river defied many imaginations, and we meet many of the explorers and documenters of its mysterious realms. We also are led to the unavoidable and timely issue of indigenous displacement and their continuing fight for their lands, especially now, given the threat of the concept of Marco Temporal, which I explain, threatens their rights. The continual environmental degradation and miseries can evoke an irrevocable loss, but they can also convoke a collective commitment to enact a Victoria Amazonica of global dimensions, by standing by the Emerald Forest and their original inhabitants.
