\nThe US slaughtered their Indians, and made the most of their natural resources, so who are they to tell developing countries how to behave?
\n
\nReel tells this big story through a small one: the discovery of a lone Indian living deep in the Brazilian rainforest. The Contact Front is the government group tasked with protecting the remaining tribes-people, but is a single Indian a tribe? And what if he doesn’t want to be contacted, even by the good guys?
\n<\/span>
\nReel teases out the paradoxes – and high drama – of anthropology in action.
