Content
A then-50-something man, living alone in the Amazon, for 22 years, after the last of his tribe, a group of six members, were murdered by farmers in 1995, was photographed by a filmmaker who accompanied FUNAI on a monitoring trip and is shown very briefly in this documentary. Monte Reel wrote 'The Last of the Tribe: The Epic Quest to Save a Lone Man in the Amazon' about him.
