"This documentary gives an overview of the Video in the Villages [Video nas Aldeias] project, which was founded in 1987 to give indigenous communities control over their own images. The video details the project's achievements, including the creation of an indigenous television show for a local public access station, the organization of the National Encounter of Indigenous Filmmakers, and the use of video to advance each community's particular political [and social] goals [especially the fight to preserve their lands and ways of life]. Includes interviews with videomakers and community members, and behind-the-scenes shots of the conceptualization and execution of the community-based videos"--Container.
