A group of anthropologists fights to protect them from external forces seeking to exploit their land and culture. Meanwhile, the Mashco Piro themselves grapple with a growing curiosity about the outside world.
When violent encounters spark fear and demands for intervention, the tension reaches a breaking point. Filmmaker Carl Gierstorfer captures this high-stakes struggle, questioning whether contact is salvation—or destruction.
