Latin American Film Series: Accounts of a War Correspondent in the Amazon

Brazilian journalist, Daniel Camargos follows the search for his friend, British journalist Dom Phillips, killed in the Amazon. The loss will change the way he covers the indigenous resistance that is ongoing throughout the Amazon. Camargos's first-person narration leads to an intimate and provocative reflection on the role of journalism in the world’s largest rainforest. After hearing about the brutality of what happened to Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira, Camargos wonders if “it’s worth carrying on”.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A conversation with the film’s director and narrator Daniel Camargos, Repórter Brasil
