Sylvestre Campe

Aboard his microlight plane, Sylvestre Campe explores the famous Trans-Amazonian route, meeting with the people living in this deep and mixed Brazil. The Transamazônica breaks through the Brazilian forest over 4,300 kilometers. Millions of tons of raw materials pass through this huge road, which ends in a dead end in the middle of the jungle. On board his paramotor, the explorer unveils the immensity, the beauty and the scars of the landscape, and sets off to meet people: poor farmers in ​​the Northeast , a young gold digger who dreams of standing out on social networks, a young indigenous activist, a couple who sacrificed their youth to build the road... Between heaven and earth, we go on a great road movie, which draws a real picture of this Amazonian Wild West.

In March 2003, five mountain-climbers go to Tierra del Fuego, in the extreme South of South America, to climb Mount Sarmiento. Unexpected events abort the mission, turning a documentary about achievement into a portrait of failure and frustration.

Large uncontrolled fires and flames have severely damaged the Amazon rainforests of Brazil in the summer of 2019 and destroyed countless trees. The main cause of the fires seems to be the man-made slash-and-burn. The drought, which has lasted for months, favors the situation. Likewise, the radical policy of the new Brazilian government under right-wing populist President Jair Bolsonaro contributes to the destruction of the Amazon jungles. When the green lung of the earth burns, not only experts and international politicians are terrified. Protecting the world's unique ecosystem is of vital importance to all people of the world. The film examines the current environmental and humanitarian catastrophe in the Amazon region and gives voice to environmental activists as well as relativizing proponents of the fires.
