WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE Feature Documentary

In a stunning debut feature, Heidi Brandenburg and Mathew Orzel document the clashes between indigenous people of the Amazon — whose native lands are threatened by lucrative mining and clearcutting contracts — and the Peruvian government. Interweaving interviews with a charismatic Amazonian leader, politicians and law enforcement officials with footage of violent altercations, WHEN TWO WORLDS COLLIDE is a stirring document of how far a community will go to save their home from environmental devastation. — David L.
