In 1979 the Brazilian government gave Chico Prestes a plot of land in the state of Rondonia, in the Western Amazon, in an area regularly hunted by the unknown Uru Eu Wau Wau tribe. One day Chico returned from the forest to find two of his sons dying, riddled with arrows, and the youngest, seven-year-old Fabio, apparently taken off by the Indians.
This was the start of an 18-year quest by the Prestes family to find out what happened to little Fabio - a quest that caught the imagination of Brazil, highlighting the Amazon as a battleground between Indians and invading colonists. The quest also uncovered the prior murder and kidnap of Uru Eu Wau Wau tribespeople, but the real tragedy is not the cycle of revenge, but the onset of disease and deforestation which will end the hiding tribes' way of life for ever.
'Seems to sum up the entire tragedy of one culture wiping out another...it unfolds with the inevitability of a Greek tragedy, or a Western perhaps, even providing an ironic twist at the end.' (London) Daily Telegraph
'The kind of 19th Century adventure that you had to keep amazedly reminding yourself was taking place in the space age.' (London) Daily Telegraph
'Mysterious, disturbing, yet utterly amazing...While global political-economics drive the destruction of the Brazilian rain forest, this documentary articulates the tragedy of families who have been destroyed as ruthlessly as the jungle itself.' Timothy McGettigan, Prof., Sociology, Wake Forest University
'A remarkable story, remarkably told.' (London) Observer
'Documentaries do not come better than this.' The (London) Times
'Adrian Cowell's trilogy was 30 years in the making and it's been worth the wait...the denouement plays out like Jacobean tragedy and...is no less gripping.' Time Out
'A powerful documentary series about the Amazonian Indians, may prove to be one of the last records of their way of life.' (London) Independent on Sunday
'The films are about contact and about the destruction and absorption of weaker peoples by more powerful ones, a story perhaps as old as humankind...They focus on the accounts of particular individuals, native and European Brazilian and present us with an extraordinary opportunity to get to know the indigenous people and the drama of their lives in a very personal way....(T)hey are particularly successful in avoiding demonizing the penetrators and their society or of playing on the emotions of the viewer with nostalgia about a soon-to-be-lost native way of life. 'The Last of the Hiding Tribes' are very pragmatic, very human films.' Alan Duben, Human Ecology
'An extraordinary achievement.' The Geographical
'Skillful editing and masterful interweaving of current and past events keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.' Pamela M. Rose, Health Sciences Library, University at Buffalo (Anthropology Review Database)

00:00:12.800 --> 00:00:16.244
The story began in the Amazon forest
00:00:16.245 --> 00:00:21.639
nearly 20 years ago when our film crew and
I caught on camera for the first time
00:00:21.640 --> 00:00:29.640
this unknown Indian as stone age man stared
into the lens of the 20th century he had
00:00:30.500 --> 00:00:34.069
no warning about the consequences
of his first contact with
00:00:34.070 --> 00:00:40.159
our world about the terrible tragedy
he would inflict on this woman.
00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:45.480
And the grim fate awaiting
him and his people.
00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:10.560
It\'s not
00:01:50.010 --> 00:01:58.010
In the Brazilian state of Rondonia in the
western Amazon a strange quest began in 1996.
00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:05.529
That year the State Congress voted unanimously
that the government should resolve
00:02:05.530 --> 00:02:11.630
the fate of a boy who had been kidnapped
by a tribe of Indians 17 years before.
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:20.094
Congresswoman ammonia Brown
demanded a government should now
00:02:20.095 --> 00:02:24.789
either provide evidence that the
boy was dead or find and free him.
00:02:24.790 --> 00:02:32.750
When kidnapped Fabio prestigious was seven
years old if alive today he would be 26
00:02:34.930 --> 00:02:37.339
Same pillows.
00:02:37.340 --> 00:02:43.009
Every day spins contact was much Sudoku diverse

they find a noise actual di hockey

00:04:01.330 --> 00:04:06.618
The sad plight of little Fabio
caught the imagination of Brazil
00:04:06.619 --> 00:04:12.309
highlighting the Amazon as a battleground
between Indians and invading colonists.
00:04:12.310 --> 00:04:17.404
We followed the story into the state
of Rondonia to the river geometry.
00:04:17.405 --> 00:04:21.649
And back in time nearly 20 years
to the plot of forage that
00:04:21.650 --> 00:04:27.600
government had given to Fabius parents
Shi Qu and hymen depressed is

his plot to find his house looted and two
of his sons dying by the river bank.
00:04:50.660 --> 00:04:53.989
We talked to him soon after the attack.

00:06:35.790 --> 00:06:39.264
So the Indians had killed the eldest son
00:06:39.265 --> 00:06:42.759
the next age nine was in hospital
with a terrible wound in
00:06:42.760 --> 00:06:46.494
his neck and little Fabio
just seven years old
00:06:46.495 --> 00:06:51.590
had been carried off into the
vast wilderness of Amazonian
00:07:22.960 --> 00:07:27.049
soon after with revenge in his heart Shi Qu
00:07:27.050 --> 00:07:30.574
prestigious began a search
for his kidnap sun.
00:07:30.575 --> 00:07:34.860
It became a dark and grim obsession.
00:07:43.390 --> 00:07:51.390
And Xi Qu was a secretive as the forest itself
about where he\'d gone and what he done.
00:07:54.490 --> 00:07:58.114
At the same time Brazil\'s Indian agency
00:07:58.115 --> 00:08:02.089
also set out to try and make peace
with the kidnappers the auto
00:08:02.090 --> 00:08:06.514
whale wild wild tribe which had never
had contact with the outside world.
00:08:06.515 --> 00:08:09.030
We went with them.
00:08:29.590 --> 00:08:33.949
The expedition was made up of
Brazilians and Indians from
00:08:33.950 --> 00:08:38.400
a friendly tribe which had agreed
to help the Indian agency.
00:08:46.300 --> 00:08:49.819
After four weeks they
found a clearing and in
00:08:49.820 --> 00:08:54.120
the camp behind the first
science of the kidnappers.
00:09:05.470 --> 00:09:10.830
Are caveat below minimum wage

I implemented other phenomenon or

00:09:43.160 --> 00:09:48.199
What Paula and when we\'re done with two

permanent on reflection these tin
00:09:57.090 --> 00:09:59.719
seemed to suggest something different that
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:03.960
possibly another expedition
had arrived ahead of us

Most sinister with a box
of revolver bullets.
00:10:09.880 --> 00:10:11.439
So we went back to Sheikh.

00:10:13.990 --> 00:10:16.130

Grief of harmonica and her
husband had redoubled
00:11:36.610 --> 00:11:41.359
The neighbors explained that the
family\'s second son who\'d had a wound in
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:46.954
his neck had recently died adding to
the families overwhelming tragedy
00:11:46.955 --> 00:11:52.759
To the growing list of casualties in the
classic war between the invading white man and
00:11:52.760 --> 00:11:54.810
the forest Indian
00:12:17.470 --> 00:12:19.189

best yet with massive cliffs and gorgeous.
00:12:52.030 --> 00:12:57.799
The expedition had now been following the
Indians who\'d kidnap the boy for most of
00:12:57.800 --> 00:13:01.159
the year the orders from
00:13:01.160 --> 00:13:03.559
Brazil\'s Indian agency where to contact
00:13:03.560 --> 00:13:08.190
the tribe and protected from
the vengeance of the colonists
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:18.394
The policy of the Indian
agency is never to shoot back.
00:13:18.395 --> 00:13:22.830
So the closer we got the
greater the tension.
00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:41.160
That\'s not always. The stone
is also installed on them.
00:13:54.190 --> 00:13:59.310
The very theory suddenly we
knew we were surrounded.
00:14:08.140 --> 00:14:13.620
But nobody knew what the
Indians intended to do.
00:14:51.700 --> 00:14:55.264
No presence we\'re left all
over their territory.
00:14:55.265 --> 00:15:02.040
The Indians rejected all offerings until a
few weeks later when they made their move.
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:25.729
Under cover of a heavy storm they
crept up to the expedition space to
00:15:25.730 --> 00:15:31.980
ambush the first person to go out Mao
era one of the expeditions Indians.
00:15:33.820 --> 00:15:38.329
They\'re shouting where friends at

00:16:00.820 --> 00:16:07.249
My mom was washing when he saw them
creeping up then he ducked the arrows.
00:16:07.250 --> 00:16:12.349
All tuples that are very
00:16:12.350 --> 00:16:20.350
very good. At that
00:16:42.010 --> 00:16:45.619
Homo erectus escaped the Indians attacked
00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:50.910
again waiting until after lunch
when everyone was in the hammocks.
00:16:52.090 --> 00:16:58.159
As they fired arrows are cameraman Fuang
and quote one Indian archer Neopets.
00:16:58.160 --> 00:17:01.414
We later found out that
he was cold tiering.
00:17:01.415 --> 00:17:06.150
Carry would provide a first
clue to the kidnap boy
00:17:27.040 --> 00:17:29.340
So
00:17:38.300 --> 00:17:39.509
I

00:19:46.210 --> 00:19:50.569
For 17 years Fabius family
believed the medium was
00:19:50.570 --> 00:19:54.514
right that Fabio was alive
and with the Indians.
00:19:54.515 --> 00:19:59.400
And so public pressure to
resolve the kidnapping mounted.

00:20:54.190 --> 00:20:59.299
It\'s 1981 and for more than a
year the industrial bribes
00:20:59.300 --> 00:21:04.500
of our world had failed to load
the Indians out of the forest.
00:21:14.770 --> 00:21:19.459
At the same time a relentless
migration from the developed part of
00:21:19.460 --> 00:21:25.380
Brazil raise the pressure on the Indians
who\'d kidnapped Fabio precedence
00:21:42.850 --> 00:21:48.019
Hundreds of landless families arrived
every day in the frontier towns of
00:21:48.020 --> 00:21:52.939
the Amazon to receive a 100 acres of
forest donated by the government.
00:21:52.940 --> 00:21:55.609
Listens for example set a nice cross
00:21:55.610 --> 00:21:57.060

00:22:05.050 --> 00:22:07.429
eventually all this
00:22:07.430 --> 00:22:10.864
was bound to destroy the
virgin forest of the Indians.
00:22:10.865 --> 00:22:13.864
And of course the Indians themselves
00:22:13.865 --> 00:22:16.909
which was why the Indian
agency had been trying for

so long to contact the auto

00:22:20.465 --> 00:22:26.569
But finally in March 1981 the
months of confrontation bore fruit.
00:22:26.570 --> 00:22:29.599
The Indians had been coming
closer and closer for
00:22:29.600 --> 00:22:34.350
presence and were now being
lowered into the base.
00:22:34.930 --> 00:22:41.434
A tribe\'s first meeting with our society
is a momentous event of great tension.
00:22:41.435 --> 00:22:43.939
We filmed from a concealed position in
00:22:43.940 --> 00:22:48.870
the radio hat where the radio was
on in case of a sudden attack
00:22:55.800 --> 00:23:00.189
Tango and I that that\'s
what you\'re thinking.
00:23:00.190 --> 00:23:06.609
I don\'t want my appeal their party
who they are and know what like I\'m
00:23:06.610 --> 00:23:13.134
doing it and I thought what am I monks than
was the man we\'d film briefly in the forest.
00:23:13.135 --> 00:23:17.024
He\'s carried their war leader
and he\'s wary of the trap that
00:23:17.025 --> 00:23:25.025
allow arrival arrival. Day
00:23:40.960 --> 00:23:44.899
Tyrion his tribe were now
on the path that since
00:23:44.900 --> 00:23:50.610
the beginning of this century has led a
third of Brazil\'s tribes to extinction.
00:23:55.840 --> 00:24:01.279
The White Hand on Terry shoulder
expressed genuine friendship.
00:24:01.280 --> 00:24:04.429
But this relationship with
our world would rapidly
00:24:04.430 --> 00:24:08.370
brain terrorist group to
the edge of extinction.
00:24:26.560 --> 00:24:31.770
A war leader Terry\'s young
wife and her child.
00:24:36.820 --> 00:24:41.479
Gradually we learned that the
Indians lived in separate groups
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.944
and that it was Terry\'s band which
had kidnapped seven-year-old Fabio.
00:24:45.945 --> 00:24:50.374
So tiring he held the answer to
the questions of Fabius family.
00:24:50.375 --> 00:24:55.429
Okay thank you and we\'ll data is software
software Monte data suffering the end.
00:24:55.430 --> 00:25:00.394
I\'ll end up days.
00:25:00.395 --> 00:25:03.544
In midair cell saving
00:25:03.545 --> 00:25:08.764
And engage or Memo mentioned visions
that came into my own vision.
00:25:08.765 --> 00:25:12.690
Since parents ethmoid are transparence.
00:25:13.360 --> 00:25:20.170
Mice in farming game suddenly good and
good under influence on their end.
00:25:22.900 --> 00:25:27.109
Eventually when Terry lost
his weariness he took
00:25:27.110 --> 00:25:31.129
Ugo the leader of the expedition
to show him what had happened to
00:25:31.130 --> 00:25:39.130
Fabio Fabio was killed but according to Terry
and his men animals had removed the bones
00:25:45.730 --> 00:25:47.179
Ugo
00:25:47.180 --> 00:25:49.140
translated
00:25:57.130 --> 00:25:58.549
but has
00:25:58.550 --> 00:25:59.824
no bones were found.
00:25:59.825 --> 00:26:02.284
High Maunder refused to believe fabulous
00:26:02.285 --> 00:26:06.484
dead and continue to put
our trust in her medium.
00:26:06.485 --> 00:26:09.439
She also told us that she Ku had died
00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:13.980
tragically of malaria while
still searching for Fabio.
00:26:16.840 --> 00:26:22.369
High mondo had lost four of her
family but at least was now free to
00:26:22.370 --> 00:26:28.020
tell the truth about shampoos
earlier attempt to rescue Fabio
00:26:29.220 --> 00:26:31.899
Hi there.
00:26:31.900 --> 00:26:33.504
Welcome to the second buffet lunch.
00:26:33.505 --> 00:26:38.739
I freak out I will ship but you don\'t
know what you\'re doing will go
00:26:38.740 --> 00:26:45.489
here and a posthumous O2 egos EEOC minimax
congealed to cohere Thomas velocity w star.
00:26:45.490 --> 00:26:52.204
Santa is going to change it this mail icon.
00:26:52.205 --> 00:26:54.680
Odysseus cohere well done.
00:26:57.780 --> 00:27:03.324
Nearly half the prestige family had
been wiped out a great tragedy.
00:27:03.325 --> 00:27:08.930
But for Terry and the Indians the
disaster was to be even greater
00:27:09.580 --> 00:27:16.939
So as soon as Terry the war leader began
to accept the expedition school list.
00:27:16.940 --> 00:27:20.569
Every opportunity was also taken
to get the Indians used to
00:27:20.570 --> 00:27:24.679
our medicines Madigan often
when it seen barely necessary.
00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:28.579
Better experience had taught the
Indian agency how vital it was
00:27:28.580 --> 00:27:34.889
was one of my goals
00:27:34.890 --> 00:27:41.790
despite the efforts of Terry\'s wife
child or was refused that robot.
00:27:43.390 --> 00:27:47.749
By 1984 a road was driven
through the forest close
00:27:47.750 --> 00:27:52.470
by the frontier was catching
up with the Indians.
00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:15.099
Behind the bulldozers came colonists
and perspectives bearers of
00:28:15.100 --> 00:28:20.750
the white man\'s most lethal
weapons not guns but disease.
00:28:21.510 --> 00:28:26.769
From the road it was less than a day\'s
walk to the Indian village where goo
00:28:26.770 --> 00:28:31.839
goo the expeditions leader was dealing
with epidemic after epidemic.
00:28:31.840 --> 00:28:35.698
Fighting with inadequate
resources against a frontier
00:28:35.699 --> 00:28:39.330
The government made no attempt to control.
00:28:42.700 --> 00:28:47.819
We watched helpless as a
new tragedy unfolded.
00:28:47.820 --> 00:28:50.080
But.
00:29:09.580 --> 00:29:11.839
It\'s chickenpox.
00:29:11.840 --> 00:29:15.360
Indians have no resistance against it
00:29:20.620 --> 00:29:23.989
I joined them since
00:29:23.990 --> 00:29:28.504
the Indian agency didn\'t count that
waterway awhile when they were contacted.
00:29:28.505 --> 00:29:31.710
It\'s hard to prove how many died.
00:29:32.230 --> 00:29:39.289
Nine years later we pinned up pictures of all
the Indians we\'d photographed since 1981
00:29:39.290 --> 00:29:47.100
and asked who died out of this
random selection is moving away.
00:29:48.850 --> 00:29:53.689
Altogether we had pictures
of 90 different Indians
00:29:53.690 --> 00:29:59.724
But King Louis outmoded
00:29:59.725 --> 00:30:06.924
radical is
00:30:06.925 --> 00:30:10.759
mobile carries
00:30:10.760 --> 00:30:17.100
first decade in contact with the rest
of humanity ended with one in six dead.
00:30:18.760 --> 00:30:25.020
Tragically both Terry\'s wife and
her young child were among them
00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:57.589
At the height of the dry
season all the colonists
00:30:57.590 --> 00:31:01.159
clearing lands of farms
set fire to the forest.
00:31:01.160 --> 00:31:06.300
The forest which had once been
home to the waterway awhile wow.
00:31:20.440 --> 00:31:28.440
If he had not known it before Terry must have
realized now that he is world was doomed.
00:31:45.040 --> 00:31:50.569
From Brasilia a government permit
issued by the Ministry of Justice in
00:31:50.570 --> 00:31:56.164
1997 descended on the small town
of Mattia d new in Rondonia.
00:31:56.165 --> 00:32:00.499
It authorized the family of
the kidnap boy Fabio Kresge
00:32:00.500 --> 00:32:04.054
To search the reserve of the
orwell wild wild tribe.
00:32:04.055 --> 00:32:08.824
But first we should the family are
original film of Tariq claiming.
00:32:08.825 --> 00:32:11.940
They\'d killed the kidnap boy.
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:37.470
Carry told the story to Ugo
the expedition leader.
00:32:39.760 --> 00:32:43.380
Who go then summarized.
00:32:58.600 --> 00:33:06.229
What are the family decide on
a final attempt to resolve
00:33:06.230 --> 00:33:13.924
Fabius fate and ask Francisco The eldest son
to travel to the whale wah-wah reserve.
00:33:13.925 --> 00:33:18.604
Here only the younger indians
agreed to talk to Francisco.
00:33:18.605 --> 00:33:24.780
And as they were children at the time of
the kidnapping the story remains confused
00:33:25.540 --> 00:33:33.540
By the time Tell me tell you few
ought to be worse or coordinate.
00:33:33.910 --> 00:33:39.624
And so the Indian score Ooh girl
00:33:39.625 --> 00:33:44.840
who led the expedition to show
Francisco the site of the massacre.
00:33:48.240 --> 00:33:56.240
Imbeciles is a Palestinian
Muslim population or
00:33:56.685 --> 00:34:04.685
a worse causality for z values by gender
religion desperately looking for deals
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:16.219
And there are some EPA similarly
that at the same time give attention
00:34:16.220 --> 00:34:24.220
to fashion affordable but
00:34:25.790 --> 00:34:28.789
let\'s not use them cash from
your fiscal founded legitimacy
00:34:28.790 --> 00:34:33.659
actually originated in contact metric.
00:34:33.660 --> 00:34:40.020
Yeah. Me too for beauty Vesta viewable.
00:34:40.030 --> 00:34:43.789
With no Hoover some idiosyncrasy method.
00:34:43.790 --> 00:34:46.640
We\'re going to get near
00:34:51.220 --> 00:34:56.610
Ms. Boyle got a got a leg up.
00:34:57.280 --> 00:35:02.604
6lowpan immediate. It was
convenient together.
00:35:02.605 --> 00:35:05.584
You\'ll wash a Jewish thought.
00:35:05.585 --> 00:35:07.654
She won\'t know.
00:35:07.655 --> 00:35:15.364
You\'re washing up doing more vulnerable to
put a dense enough we\'ll post a variant.
00:35:15.365 --> 00:35:21.630
2 million Cl walk to the
toughness is under Stalin.
00:35:23.350 --> 00:35:30.930
Eventually the official documents seem to
resolve for the family Fabius sad sate
00:35:31.200 --> 00:35:36.999
But what they didn\'t shed light on was
why he\'d originally been kidnapped.
00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:41.049
Though back at the reserve the
Indians had given Fransisco and
00:35:41.050 --> 00:35:46.550
unexpected clue that started to
unravel this new part of the story.
00:35:48.240 --> 00:35:55.839
Basketball. Basketball fever in
00:35:55.840 --> 00:36:00.660
a little bit of facade
to plug in the best guy
00:36:10.920 --> 00:36:14.459
came out to carry the kidnapper
00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:18.529
a sister who had also
been kidnapped by whites.
00:36:18.530 --> 00:36:25.020
So we set out looking for Terry who we
find living just outside the reserve.
00:36:28.090 --> 00:36:32.659
Terry has lost most of his
relatives to epidemics and
00:36:32.660 --> 00:36:37.440
both he and his brother
WIPO have tuberculosis.
00:36:38.500 --> 00:36:43.384
They\'ve also had to adapt to
strange ways like canoeing.
00:36:43.385 --> 00:36:46.980
They\'re tribe did not use canoes before.
00:36:52.360 --> 00:36:56.359
They\'ve abandoned much of their
traditional way of life and are
00:36:56.360 --> 00:37:00.390
living in a hut that used to
belong to a rubber Tampa.
00:37:02.110 --> 00:37:06.540
Terry must be around 50 years old.
00:37:06.550 --> 00:37:11.520
We interview him with the
help of his nephew Sebastien.
00:37:18.180 --> 00:37:26.180
The sit-in banner on the alternate.
Eating mice
00:37:29.290 --> 00:37:33.244
Any Paco boundless MSM tentacle coin buh.
00:37:33.245 --> 00:37:35.089
Buh bye Daddy. More handler.
00:37:35.090 --> 00:37:38.134
Playlists may well have
00:37:38.135 --> 00:37:46.135
all 11 and conveying remind daily hall.
00:37:47.675 --> 00:37:53.550
If Hagar don\'t sit EMA Dalian they
nylon dating that became indefinitely.
00:37:56.470 --> 00:38:00.079
And you boost go Murray to hit a point.
00:38:00.080 --> 00:38:02.280
Dave yeah they bought that.
00:38:15.280 --> 00:38:20.779
For years carry had searched the
forest for his kidnap syste
00:38:20.780 --> 00:38:27.420
a searches unsuccessful as that of
Xi Qu pressed is for his kidnap son.
00:38:39.940 --> 00:38:44.689
When we learned about Terry\'s
syste it reminded us that we\'d
00:38:44.690 --> 00:38:49.530
already film to go kidnapped
from the whale while Wow
00:38:59.380 --> 00:39:03.064
Seventeen years before
we\'d gone to interview
00:39:03.065 --> 00:39:06.289
a Robert APA called
Alfredo who would become
00:39:06.290 --> 00:39:08.749
renowned as an Indian expert because he\'d
00:39:08.750 --> 00:39:13.500
captured and Orwell well
wow girl during an attack.
00:39:15.790 --> 00:39:21.019
Be started a family with
her and Coulter maria.
00:39:21.020 --> 00:39:25.459
Now we know that Terry\'s account
of her kidnapping matched
00:39:25.460 --> 00:39:33.460
Alfredo Hogarth noisy them formally
00:39:34.490 --> 00:39:38.769
Input one is if you call say lifecycle
00:39:38.770 --> 00:39:42.664
sees a nice big and Lewis got book
say small kerosene or save more.
00:39:42.665 --> 00:39:46.839
In less beg him Liskov book
that he could have seen him on.
00:39:46.840 --> 00:39:54.529
And on my anti-aligned em theatre
and Michelle can give noisy.
00:39:54.530 --> 00:40:02.530
And what the Hanako hint that they might
not benefit all of them on my sheet again.
00:40:03.980 --> 00:40:06.829
I am Obama louder.
00:40:06.830 --> 00:40:12.870
And if we\'re doing high minus
I don\'t know how the world.
00:40:14.520 --> 00:40:17.229
And then we mine will heal
00:40:17.230 --> 00:40:24.229
Or who the February the open
pneumonia and Sophie communist SMU.
00:40:24.230 --> 00:40:30.889
Keep Congress understood
that it coincides with
00:40:30.890 --> 00:40:37.009
a onetime contract Koreans
00:40:37.010 --> 00:40:41.719
are very earthly labor.
00:40:41.720 --> 00:40:46.849
Now that is the final twist.
00:40:46.850 --> 00:40:51.229
Amazingly we\'d already film Terry\'s
sister without knowing it.
00:40:51.230 --> 00:40:55.324
So 17 years later we set
out to find her again.
00:40:55.325 --> 00:40:59.988
And by a stroke of luck we trace it
to one of the new frontier towns
00:40:59.989 --> 00:41:06.420
And on a farm nearby we find Maria
who is now in her early forties.
00:41:09.490 --> 00:41:17.490
We tell her about her brother and ask
if she wants to meet him. He might.
00:41:27.490 --> 00:41:33.300
We then check with Alfredo who
kidnapped her in the first place.
00:41:42.520 --> 00:41:46.129
However Maria has six children.
00:41:46.130 --> 00:41:52.140
And as they\'ve all been to school they think
of themselves as Brazilians not Indians.
00:41:55.300 --> 00:42:01.474
And her eldest son Zhuang points out
that though Maria is 100% India.
00:42:01.475 --> 00:42:05.130
She can\'t remember anything of her tribe
00:42:09.280 --> 00:42:15.330
From her home we helped Maria travel
to the river where terry lives.
00:42:19.600 --> 00:42:24.030
She goes with our eldest son Zhuang.
00:42:25.870 --> 00:42:31.429
And borrow and interpreter of the
outerwear worldwide language.
00:42:31.430 --> 00:42:36.000
We\'re dragging atmosphere we
may look at a given path.
00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:43.600
What gastric ganglion and
generate an unknown.
00:42:50.280 --> 00:42:56.979
And Maria is traveling
00:42:56.980 --> 00:43:01.269
to the house of a rubber tappers who\'d
offered to help her for though Indians
00:43:01.270 --> 00:43:05.229
and rubber tappers were once at
war there now allies in defense
00:43:05.230 --> 00:43:10.989
of the forest and will cough
00:43:10.990 --> 00:43:17.439
as she associate mouth
00:43:17.440 --> 00:43:22.269
suddenly organising isn\'t what ikea
nationalism for accommodation.
00:43:22.270 --> 00:43:27.890
But for finite splat I will say
when you say something more
00:43:36.490 --> 00:43:42.409
It\'s over 35 years since Maria last
meta brothers and she feels awkward
00:43:42.410 --> 00:43:48.794
because she\'s forgotten their language
and needs an interpreter or see.
00:43:48.795 --> 00:43:51.309
Exactly.
00:43:51.310 --> 00:43:59.310
Yeah. I would I work there does
not matter but do we buy our MBOs
00:44:11.530 --> 00:44:19.530
And he\'d go to borrow more idea Mariah.
00:44:25.630 --> 00:44:33.630
Oh yeah. Yeah yeah he had a hero move.
00:44:34.040 --> 00:44:41.430
Mandu Zhuang meets his cousin
one of Maria\'s nephews Paulina.
00:44:41.560 --> 00:44:48.810
So being granted figure what Moldavia
00:44:54.010 --> 00:44:58.999
But ethical Duddy that
00:44:59.000 --> 00:45:06.439
Louis revitalized by the Meeting Teri
00:45:06.440 --> 00:45:12.469
celebrates with a ritual challenge about how
he shot a white man sleeping beside his dog.
00:45:12.470 --> 00:45:17.550
He shot him again in the stomach and
left him for the vouchers to eat.
00:45:22.540 --> 00:45:26.239
While post chant is about
how he watched a woman and
00:45:26.240 --> 00:45:30.750
her children talking to her
husband before he shot him
00:45:37.070 --> 00:45:43.010
La la la la la la.
00:45:47.370 --> 00:45:54.560
Despite their Savage chant it\'s obviously the
Indians who suffered most in the fighting.
00:45:55.390 --> 00:46:01.539
Their multinomials seperately
heterozygote you\'ve
00:46:01.540 --> 00:46:07.089
got Coahuila 20 bits and
pieces of the study.
00:46:07.090 --> 00:46:15.090
And there were quite a quite a Eva.
00:46:15.835 --> 00:46:18.409
Amazon human yet
00:46:18.410 --> 00:46:22.860
is by monarch MIS.
00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:32.760
That way is doing one or
anything we can whenever
00:46:47.230 --> 00:46:51.739
carry obviously enjoys having
his relatives with him.
00:46:51.740 --> 00:46:54.739
So we use the opportunity to ask about
00:46:54.740 --> 00:46:59.130
the beautiful woman who had been
living with when we first met him
00:47:01.470 --> 00:47:06.399
We chose a moment when he was relaxed
because other Indians had told
00:47:06.400 --> 00:47:11.510
us that when his wife became too
sick to walk he\'d killed her.
00:47:14.140 --> 00:47:22.140
But Morrow asks who died in
these photo monoid area 30.
00:47:31.770 --> 00:47:36.320
On her Taylor he points to the woman below.
00:47:38.700 --> 00:47:44.174
And when we ask about his wife
above he said she\'d died too
00:47:44.175 --> 00:47:45.934
wasn\'t his wife going to.
00:47:45.935 --> 00:47:52.459
He\'s persistently enigmatic about her though
he is more positive about a related subject.
00:47:52.460 --> 00:47:57.294
His hopes for a new wife
Omidyar ha invaded Kuwait.
00:47:57.295 --> 00:48:00.510
In adequate
00:48:04.930 --> 00:48:11.344
level area.
00:48:11.345 --> 00:48:18.139
Yet Erica wasn\'t well yeah you can do it.
00:48:18.140 --> 00:48:21.480
And a range of other colors
00:48:22.270 --> 00:48:29.010
reunion with Zhuang and Maria may have
done a little to write a great wrong.
00:48:38.020 --> 00:48:44.464
But the world of the forest warrior who fought
for independence from our global society
00:48:44.465 --> 00:48:51.180
who fought the white man as an equal
is vanishing very rapidly indeed.
00:48:54.640 --> 00:49:01.200
Within a decade or two mankind
will see its lost carried
00:49:05.620 --> 00:49:09.840
It\'s last unknown man.
00:49:46.870 --> 00:49:50.130
