    Rating: 8/10

    "Good and complete movie touching several topics at the same time; the destruction through the conquest of the native cultures and knowlege in America and the vital path of 4 different human beings. Ciro Guerra es smart to use black and white and the landscapes of the Amazonas to fill all the silences of the movie. The cast is quite good, specially the 2 actors performing Karamakate; Nibio Torres and Antonio Bolivar."
