AMAZON IN FLAME
com Moby, Xuxa, Luisa Mell, João Gordo – among other experts and activists – now comes to Brazil in streaming services
Debut this week in Brazil – by Telecine – the documentary Amazon on Fire, Emmy-nominated filmmaker – Michal Siewierski. The film has already been released in the United States and Canada and shows us the real environmental cost of what is on our plates, and addresses the link between deforestation and the meat industry.
The documentary embarks on an audacious journey to expose the real reasons for forest fires in the Amazon and the alarming rate of deforestation in Brazil, the largest exporter of beef in the world.
"Media coverage of the catastrophic destruction of the Amazon does not show the full picture", diz Siewierski. "With Amazon on Fire I wanted to show how the choices we make about what we eat and consume thousands of miles away directly impact the rainforest. ”
The film - produced together with the music icon and activist Moby and with the entrepreneur and activist Peter Eastwood - highlights how corporate greed, global food consumption and political corruption create conditions that are irreparably damaging our ecosystem.
“As a longtime defender of the environment, I know the ethical consequences of eating meat. I was shocked by what we learned during the production of Amazon on Fire”, said Moby. “This is a mandatory film for anyone who is passionate about nature and fighting corruption.”
