WE ARE GUARDIANS is a rich journey that introduces the people living an intricate daily balance in the Amazon basin, one of the world’s most disrupted and threatened regions, revealing the many intertwined social and economic issues driving this complicated landscape. The film follows Indigenous leader and activist Puyr Tembé and forest guardian Marçal Guajajara as they fight to protect their territories from deforestation, as well as an illegal logger who has no choice but to cut the forest down to feed his family, and a large landowner at the mercy of thousands of invaders and industry.
