Description / Descripción

Em 1964, os índios Ikpeng têm seu primeiro contato com o homem branco numa região próxima ao rio Xingu, no Mato Grosso. O filme relata este encontro, ou o que restou dele: as lembranças, o exílio, a terra abandonada, o desejo e a luta pelo retorno. (Film's Official Website)
Following their "first contact" in 1964, the Ikpeng people (called Txicão in Portuguese) were relocated to the great Upper Xingu reserve, where their lives would no longer be threatened by settlers. A viewing of a filmed record of this signal event in their history evokes a stream of memories and provides a rare account of contact from the indigenous point of view. The consequences of contact and resettlement still impact the community, even as the Ikpeng gain more control over their future. (World Cat)
