The Channel 4 documentary explored the lives of tribes on the Brazilian-Peruvian border who lived in isolated for years.
Isolated indigenous tribes have been living for years in the Amazonian forest without any contact with other communities – and a Channel 4 documentary has captured contact made by them with the outside world.
Footage went viral in 2014 of members of one tribe emerging from the rainforest for the first time, and now one of those men Xani, of the Sapanahua Indian tribe, has given filmmakers of First Contact: Lost Tribes Of The Amazon a look into their lives.
They live deep in the rainforest on the Brazilian boarder with Peru, and after being isolated for so long have since come out of hiding and have contact with the outside world.
But there are other tribes who still live in total isolation. Violence to the Amazonian tribes has a long history, and since a wide scale massacre many went into hiding and have never come out.
The tribes are protected by local laws, disallowing anyone to make contact with them, partly because of the risk of spreading disease to them. But recently there have been sightings of the Mascho Piro tribe, who have been engaging in conflict and violence, leaving communities in fear of being attacked.
