"Truka, in the name of the Enchanteds", is a documentary about the Truka people. They live on islands on the Sao Francisco river in the Northeast of Brazil. And their story is the same as that of indigenous people all over the world: a story of colonization and oppression but also about resistance and courage. Today, they are facing their biggest threat ever: a planned transposition project of the river that the Truka as well as other communities are dependent on. This will have a huge impact on the river that is already very low because of dams. Not only an ecological disaster but also a cultural disaster for people that depend on this river. The ambition of this film is to raise awareness on this subject and hopefully inspire people to take action to prevent this disaster from happening. Also to make people think about what it means to be indigenous, what effect a rampant development have on their culture and nature itself - which we all depend on for our survival. This project is a part of a larger picture, an unpreceded destruction of the natural world of apocalyptical proportions. This greed for power and money stands in direct contrast to the indigenous mindset that is based on balance, because all indigenous cultures are based on the notion that if you destroy your own landbase you have nothing. Except death.
