Episode 6: The Forest Imposes Itself and the Road is Abandoned
March 18, 2021
The past and the present meet at the end of the road, opening up weaknesses and contradictions. Going through the wildest stretch, the last episode of the series deals with the forest's victory over construction. The idea of progress makes its consequences visible: social disorder and endemic diseases, such as malaria. The final part of the documentary reflects on major development projects in the Amazon and promotes questions about the future of new ventures that intend to domesticate the largest tropical forest in the world.
