What happens

The Kayapo: Out of the Forest is a 1989 color documentary film and the second of two films, the first being the 1987 film The Kayapo. Both films were directed by Michael Beckham with assistance by Terry Turner, a consulting anthropologist. The film focuses on the conflict between the Kayapo Indian Nation and the Electronorte power development company of the Brazilian government, along with the World Bank, who will be the source of funding. Electronorte is pushing to construct a dam near the Kayapo village, which if built would flood much of the Kayapo's land. This film documents the plight of the Kayapo Indians and their struggle to not only save their village but also the rivers and rainforest of Brazil, which they state will be irrefutable destroyed if the Kararao dam is built.
