The Territory explores the high tensions between the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau - an Indigenous tribe first contacted by the Brazilian government in 1980 - and settlers in modern-day Brazil. Presenting their story in a vérité style, the filmmakers blend together on-the-ground action and footage captured by the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau people to situate viewers at the heart of the hostile and sometimes violent confrontations between both groups. Tangãi and Pritz share how their camerawork helped provide the film with a participatory feel and a raw depiction of events; how they aimed to shoot the settlers in a more "mechanical" style and the Indigenous peoples in a natural, handheld style; how they collected B-roll of the forest with a macro lens after each day of shooting; and their thoughts on the local and global impact of this story.
