No More History Without Us

Description

The film takes place between Munich and Belém, focusing on the exploitation and representation of the Amazon rainforest. It features the work of two Amazonian filmmakers, Raphael Uchôa and Priscilla Brasil, who confront the historical narratives that have portrayed the forest as a boundless paradise. Through a series of denunciations, they highlight the ongoing racism and prejudice that underpin these views, emphasizing the concept of a “savage demographic emptiness” that prevents indigenous voices from being heard. "No More History Without Us" serves as a manifesto against greenwashing, challenging the historical processes that romanticize the Amazon while disregarding the realities faced by its inhabitants. The film presents a critical view of how global perceptions continue to shape local experiences, all while maintaining a tone that oscillates between dark insights and moments of unexpected humor.
