A series of three films by Adrian Cowell.

A tiny hut in the forests of Central Brazil hides a handful of people completely unknown to the outside world. In a city a thousand miles away their tribal land is being sold to speculators. From little airstrips in the forest other white men, armed with guns, are pushing back the Indians in their search for diamonds, rubber, and yet more cattle land. They bring extinction to the tribes and face jungle-ambush in return.
