AUDIOVISUAL

No sound engineer, no camera assistant, no production team. Just my simple camera and me, trying to disrupt the daily lives of the people I work with as little as possible. Through documentaries and interviews, we take a look at everyday life in the Amazon—food and medicine production, successes and challenges, reflections from experts and anthropologists.
