Amazônia: Mother of Nature™ is the first documentary series about the people of the Brazilian Rain Forest produced entirely in High-Definition wide screen format. This Brazilian-American production is bringing the world one of the most complete pictures of the reality faced by people in Negro River region. Though a subject of much speculation, research, and cinematic exploration, information about the Amazon is always limited to its current state of destruction, and portrait as the land of the wild and primitive. The distant view of "burning off" in the region has not contributed much to further preservation of the Amazon. The multi-part series paints a picture of the Brazilian Rain Forest through the eyes of its people, and focuses on the human element with interviews and never before seen images of one of the most protected regions of the world. The Negro is a hidden giant with sandbars, rocky formations, and other natural obstacles that pose tremendous challenges for navigation. It is also home to a majority of the indigenous groups still living in the Brazilian Amazon region, and to many small river communities made up of people descended from mixing between native Indians, early European settlers, Northeastern Brazilians, Syrians, Lebanese, and Jews.
