The last two members of the indigenous Piripkura people live deep in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil. A look at the tragedies that befall the indigenous people living in the Amazon - systematic violence is a constant looming threat. They lit a torch in 1998 which has been burning continuously ever since, and it is their most precious possession, and the protected status of the forest area they inhabit is based on their survival. The Amazon is being violently destroyed by uncontrolled deforestation. To protect the rainforest territory of the Piripkura indigenous people, Jair Candor, coordinator of the Brazilian Indigenous Peoples' Protection Agency (FUNAI), must prove that the last two surviving men still exist.
