your up in the sky looking down at the clouds
a narrator begins
"the story that you just saw is just one of many (close ups of children), every year 100s of indigneous children of Brazil, have the same trajectory. this is Amale buried alive (close up of a baby) because he was the son of an unmarried woman. He spent two hours under the dirt before he was saved by a neighbor.Harani's mother abandoned her in the forest right after she was born. She was saved 36 hours later. Being physically handicapped, being twins or triplets, being born of an unwed mother, or born of incest or adultery, all these are reasons to take away the life of a child. (27:47)
Indigenous woman: "the babies grandmother saw that the baby had a whole in his mouth." "She dug a hole and put the baby inside the hole, she threw the dirt and then stomped on it." "The baby cried a lot the whole night and only died the next day."
Narrator: "in the majority of the cases infanticide happens by pressure of the 'pajes.'
paje: "they come to my house and say, Paje I am sick and my stomach has a baby.I begin to do a ritual (he is shown to bend over a woman), I then blow on a rock and show her. See, it's a child without a soul."
Narrator:"today, more and more indigenous people in Brazil are fighting to end the practice."
Indigenous woman holding Amale: we looked for the burial site with a flashlight.I dug and found Amale. When I took him out he was already dying."
Indigenous man: "after I was able to save Kauana. I began to show my people, other ethnicities, to various tribes, that we could save or someone adopt from another tribe."
Indigenous woman: "A lot of girls saw Amale and my father told them that when they grow up they couldn't do that to their children. He said to them that Amale was a person. And, when he grows up he will play soccer.
A tribal leader: "the boy that was buried alive was my sister's son. It made me very sad. I wanted to die with him."
Back to previous indigenous man: "We need to end this. Our people need to grow and lessen in numbers. We are burying our newborns."
Other indigeous man: "The customs of our culture that our good we want to preserve. The customs that are bad we want to leave behind."
Indigneous woman holding Amale: "these children are human beings. They are not dogs we need to care for them. I don't like it when you buy your children.Either you take care of them or I will."
other indigenous woman: "we are doing this film because of the children. so that other indigenous people like myself know that many children were saved from death."
