The challenge

In November 2013, Cuiabá hosted the 12th Indigenous Peoples' Games, in the land of the Boe, the Bororo people. The Intertribal Committee wanted a record that would show the event from an Indigenous point of view, beyond the competitions.

What we did

We followed the nine days of the games with a topic outline covering Indigenous strength, traditional food, diversity among the peoples, the international presence and the importance of land. The film's host is José Maria Ayres Comaecureu, of the Bororo people, who introduces the culture and traditions of the peoples gathered in Cuiabá.
