This is the orchard I planted when I was a child.
Now it has given fruits and we are going to eat them.
We Struggle But We Eat Fruit - Trailer
I planted this fruit a long time ago
and now I'm eating it.
There are a lot of these around.
Wait! I'll give it to you in a second.
Here!
It's the birds that eat them.
They've eaten almost everthing.
I'm going to plant this seed.
There, it's planted.
The elders passed their wisdom onto us.
And from this knowledge, we are making
new experiences planting fruit-trees, palm-trees, timber.
It's a work that involves the whole community.
We mix the compost with a little bit of earth
and after we mix them
we can plant the seeds.
Do you know what this is?
No.
You are putting little snakes in my bag.
When it starts giving a lot of fruit,
the animals will come and eat here.
The animals eat the fruits,
and we eat the animals with cassava.
Beginning here inside our land, we identified two big invasion fronts.
After this, in 1991 the Peruvians started through here.
There's no more wood here. It's all gone.
And they are getting close to our land.
Rio Branco, this is Amônia.
A team of 30 Ashaninka is leaving.
There's an entry point by the invaders...
In 1993,
we started to feel the scarcity of game and fish.
So we made a management plan
to repopulate the species of the rivers and forests
and have enough food.
We are going to set the tracajá turtles free!
If the woods are dry and there is a fire,
everything burns and we die.
That's why
the children have to understand this process
and start to take care
of the things that are important to us.
We are not lazy folk.
Look at the surubim fish!
Ah! Now it's alright.
As we say: Here it's like this,
that's life, we struggle, but we eat fruit.
