A boat with tourists is sailing up the river through the jungle. Suddenly they come face-to-face with Indians, naked apart from their paint, with self-made weapons at the ready. The tourists sail on excitedly. The Indians put on their jeans and collect their daily wages. The Guarani, one of Brazil's oldest Indian communities, are forced to live in a reservation. A small group of Guarani decide to leave the reservation and settle in a traditional territory that has belonged to white men for several generations. The clash between two conflicting cultures is conceived as a suspense story with mystical elements. The actors are real Indians with no actor training.
Leave your thoughts about Birdwatchers.
| San Francisco ChronicleJustin BertonMomentarily, it feels as if the Guarani could win this fight and maybe give it to globalization on the shins. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekBirdwatchers is a nicely crafted piece of storytelling that is sad, but fascinating. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertBirdwatchers is impressively filmed and never less than interesting. If it has a weakness, it's that this is a familiar sermon: Save the rain forest. Respect its inhabitants. |
| Financial TimesNigel AndrewsBechis bequeaths us a landscape scattered with enigmas, jigsaw pieces for us to complete our own picture. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerThe script resonates with strong themes that address social and ecological issues regarding the environment versus the pressures of a global economy. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineBeautifully shot and performed with the authenticity of a documentary, this involving drama has a lot to say about human progress in rural Brazil, although its off-handed story and slow pace might alienate some audiences. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatConvincingly portrays the plight of the Guarani Indians of Brazil as they struggle to survive in the midst of poverty, displacement from their forest home, and their young people's lack of interest in tribal tradition and religion. |
| Little White LiesLee GriffithsBirdwatchers is an unusual and sympathetic exploration of a diminishing society driven to near extinction by capitalism and colonialism. And if it provokes action, then it's a job well done. |
| Empire MagazinePatrick PetersHaving captured an authentic and compelling tone, the cliched story twists lets the film's down occasionally. |
| Metro (UK)Anna SmithAn interesting insight into a real-life problem of the Guarani-Kaiowá's struggle for survival. |
