Xingu, an Amazonian story (2018)
By meeting the last keepers of the forest, Jean-Pierre Dutilleux takes us to the heart of Brazil, where the Yawalapiti tribe lives and whose future remains fragile. Carried by the voice of Tapi, a young Indian chef, this film also gives voice to the other actors involved in the transformation of this treasure of biodiversity: farmers, gold diggers, scientists, etc.
Writer/ director Jean-Pierre Dutilleux - co-director Alexandre Bouchet
This film was broadcasted on Arte Television from 04/08 to 02/10/2018

The Una (The Last Stone Axe Makers)
There is only one place on Earth where man still makes tools from polished stone: in New Guinea, the world's second largest island, found North of Australia. Until the 1960's, this region was entirely unknown to the rest of mankind.
