Children Of The Amazon follows filmmaker Denise Zmekhol’s journey into the Amazon in search of the Indigenous children she photographed 15 years ago. Part road-movie, part time-travel, this story of transformation and resilience reveals how we are all children of the Amazon, breathing the same air and sharing the same fate.
