one of mankind's oldest ambitions could be within reach or what is it really is possible to reverse aging researchers and scientists all over the world far in a race against time. they are peers and rivals with one daring goal to outsmart nature. more life starts february 16th on d, w with love for you, we people from ach or it could ever stay in the city when lumpkin emerges, that we live in the bush and bush and we have everything we needed are back. if

you're doing well, i was unfortunately we are now witnessing the mass destruction of the far electrical by the phone. i may be like one tiny and struggling to resist it, but i do my, my heart i talking about causes like this much. ca, whole thing, we're going to buy a so as you go, people everywhere are afraid of the end of the world annoyed we indigenous people already know what that mean. we still was lucky but up and we're here to work together. but to make sure it doesn't happen again, phantom on them with my mouse isn't industrial city at the heart of the rain forest in a state of amazon, us a place where untouched nature meets urban life. emerson porsha,

previously study biology and as a trans artist in performance is captured through photographs. emerson transforms into route so dormer and resolve paints and decorates their body with organic materials becoming a hybrid natural, being the artist designs and creates the costumes. using plans from the garden or local surroundings. this was from the very cheap army. she can replace a water plant was done pick when i touch it, it reminds me of water and brand of animals general or kill one a king. i tried the costume out here on the model for macbeth, so or also i can kind of see myself from the outside on the and so maybe this. emerson was born in the village of missouri does campus in the amazon region of

para and grew up seeing the diversity of nature later researching it scientifically . emerson connects all these experiences through art, academic with spiritual knowledge, environmental activism, with questions about gender. boy era is in a constant state of reinvention. our, you know, liter, i mean, as many faces, every photo, every face tells a story on my thought a in. so and there are countless stories to tell us the grandpa marquis court here as the leader is telling stories about the rio negro survey or did aid stories about rights. sotheby's in the meaning of mystery. my job is di, diversity. i secrets say good ed. and about the

human urge to explore and discover everything which can lead to exploitation and in the end destruction as we at up emerson can return to their routes directing the western european explorers gays to the view of indigenous peoples as a trans person with both the european and indigenous roots. emerson mediate between different worlds. though milton i work condemns these violations of life crystal into us as viola. so it's not just the destruction of the environment that other so of the, and also human social violations, as well as my so the eyes woman. i create a direct harold between these worlds as members some 8000 kilometers away in africa in south western cameroon, near the coastal town of creepy people are busy building a better future. the rain forest here is part of the congo basin,

the world's 2nd largest area of tropical rain forest. after the amazon. at the edge of the brain forest, walker village takes shape. it's named after a native african tree. that's a gathering place for the local community. here, people from the region are to live in harmony with nature, with the health of traditional materials and technology, old and new. standing in the heart of wark, a village is not a treat, but a tower. one that can collect and filter up to 25000 leaders of rain, water and condensation. but i won't be able come along in my country, cameroon, and o. 2 is an extremely important and ran commodity. although we travel for the miles to get clean, drinking water activity, we want to give vulnerable communities like that by gilly as well as all the others who need it. access to drinking water and, and i began up with a bug jelly family has set up house right next to the

construction site. they were displaced from their home in the rain forest and could be among the people who move into walk a village once it's finished. it was 8 to 10 families from various communities could live here together in the future. like oh no, no go. we're happy, the project is coming together laportia your job will do. that's why we settled here is gaila, georgia. but they also want to better their children's future. as in many other regions of the country, the children can't go to school because they have to help ensure their families basic needs, like fetching water for daily use. they often walk for many hours and many kilometers through the forest the long day. this is our one factor. another is health and hygiene. the destruction of the forest and the expansion of cities have ruined the by galleys home and their access to clean water. hello,

we all do our business in the river. the water isn't really drinkable, it's where we use the toilet where we do our laundry air t. walker village aims to make lasting improvements to the living can to aims to make lasting improvements to the living conditions of the people. in this region. construction began 2 years ago, italian architect charge act. arturo vidaurri is in charge of the project. he previously worked on designing settlements for space research projects. so he's no stranger to dealing with tricky environmental conditions. here in our pre turn, you come at own as an architect, i have a more chance to work with, you know, natural materials. so being a less industrialized country, we are kind of obliged to go and, you know, look for alternative technology which are then other for us or for them on the

traditional one. so here people just to leave the mob house house may go to mumble . woods earth, traditionally rain forest hots have roofs made of palm leaves and that was the inspiration for work. a village. oh, here the leaves of raphael palms are woven into panels and layer to top. a wooden structure in such a climber, the gulf is everything for, for a building because it protects the against the rang when it rains, very rare to stronger government prepared for the sun. for the rest. in disclaimer, you don't need wards udemy, partition. the homes are designed for families of up to 10 people. their space for a fire pits in the center of the room. the rising smoke should protect the thatched roof from oyster and keep insects away. this house in the rain forest aimed to

emulate the traditional lifestyle of the bug jelly who lived here for as long as anyone can remember. when my law is law, unfortunately, they no longer live in harmony within that col, environments it's, it's been deforested. and the things they need to survive have been destroyed or why that drives them out of the forest and into the city y wiley. the law every year, an estimated $4000000.00 hectares of rain forest are cleared on the african continent. this destruction has devastating consequences for every one, but especially for indigenous peoples, all over the world. back in brazil in so paolo, the country's largest city with some 12000000 residence. it's the cultural and economic center of the country. this is where activist and actress pi sada,

lives to day she was born and raised in another world in the middle of the amazon rain forest. i never said ending here. you can get a sense of how lonely my struggle is. so me, a lot of how small my resistances in relation to the power this place represents the home i put a thing back in the midst of all these towering bill, please. oh, there is probably not a single indigenous person in the avenue to police does. is the city's most famous streets, a seat of power home to the big banks and insurance companies. but there's been no broker now, but it's also where kaiser protested against the enforcement of a bill, which would allow brazilian authorities to evict indigenous peoples from protected land in venice. mo, god,

the list struggle is really about ensuring every one. i'm needing people from all over brazil. and i'm trying to raise awareness, he st on to hell me and i'm really fighting against an ignorant nation because some brazilians are really, are ignorant. so much resource, but as the latest, ah, guy subtle explores indigenous themes through her work. she acted in this brazilian german co production, screened at the berlin international film festival. in 2016. the film is about wandering between 2 worlds. the struggle for survival and the disappearance of a culture. cassandra's family comes from the amazon in northern brazil near the columbian border. her mother is tatiana, her father is to con, ah,

her grandparents also acted in films as did her parents. they still sometimes perform together and are very close with faculty nice. she is continuing this one off while i'm she continues to tell stories about alia, but i taught my children everything that big her father and grandfather to, oh, by that said that they know and can preserve our culture. thank you. see language, the coin and customs at the, the file a need key. casara uses her body as a political instrument in her performances. ah, hello my this affair, the hail may, i'm only now understanding how great my responsibility is. ah, i spoke think i'm 25 years old and one and i thought i'm starting to get it. how much was that this on, on some of the amazon is burning,

greed and profiteering are destroying one of the world's most important ecosystems . the planets green lung is now emitting more carbon dioxide than it can absorb and thus itself contributing to global warming up. and i just was noticed on which we are experiencing a global catastrophe in the ones who can teach the world to live in a more sustainable way. are the indigenous people are so as far as indigenous but how slash and burn agriculture is destroying lives and cultures, like those of the bug yellow in south western cameroon. the forest has been privatized. the 1st customer is going on than the business that the been living here for millennium. now that shows often the forest and now they are marginalized

. so this is what is her opinion every day under our eyes. and is also our responsibilities. the north was a western reward for what is happening work, a village is intended to create new living spaces and train local people. for instance, as gardeners or a skilled tradespeople, residence should be able to live in harmony with nature and be self sufficient. it's a model project for sustainable architecture, but also a social experiment. on law educators, you must educate each person like yourself and present some come here with prior knowledge. but the majority of the workers and participants in this project have no experience slip i. and so our projects, not just about building homes, planting flowers or providing a water supply for the point. it's about training young people, so they can learn a profession and be independent in the future. and upon also a level, it's a win win situation for all. so the projects leaders hope people can co exist and

treat one another with respect. but interactions between different cultures don't always go smoothly, and construction is often delay due to a lack of materials. still the workers are learning and reviving traditional trades . more stuff. it's definitely something good again, double, but the worker village project isn't solely for the bag, yearly or dinner. it's designed for other groups to surgery me. both if the idea is to create a living space with a good hygiene glance at it from was gone for that's why we're building water tower . so to provide drinking water tub, napa, the girls to anyone who moves here must ensure the place remains clinging regard delivery proper. ah, a utopia on the outskirts of the rain forest. how promising is the project for the indigenous peoples here? and can every one learn to get along if was so walk a mile as we have to learn how to approach one another account to communicate,

can we have a different way of life from which we must try to understand how the other lives talks and a data is saying goes the other way around to buy pool noisy, rhonda barbara cautiously reaches out to the bug jelly who have little contact to other social groups. there's a great divide between the cultures of the industrialized world and the indigenous peoples of the rain forest w mozy wrote you album if they want us all to live here, gather hook that i did on somebody. and they must also accept how we live. you know, it was, if you look gama mom of g in 2 years, the village should be ready for people to move in. will the conflicts be resolved by then? the children have already made the place their own. and ultimately, that's who the project visionaries have in mind. the bi ganley's knowledge about living in harmony with nature is being lost. work,

a village is an attempt to preserve this knowledge for the benefit of people everywhere. i came to africa with the amby dwell, you know, with the masculine knowledge how to construct sustainable infrastructure. i keep extra like the walk of your lodge. you're seeing locker resources then to look on my peers with, with this experience actually very precious that they're being acquiring and all working here. i, we're bringing back to europe because in our woods, also there is a north for improvement and a new vision for the future that can be supported by this. no, our choir here. ah. but with its unique natural resources, the rain forest continues to arouse the greed of powerful people. the economic exploitation of the amazon began centuries ago with the colonization eviction and genocide of indigenous peoples. it seems the current brazilian government has not

learned from the mistakes of the past. on the contrary, more rain forest is being destroyed now than it had been in the last 10 years to the benefit of mining projects, agriculture, and the timber trade. despite pressure from climate experts and laws stipulating the rain forest must be protected, the government is intensifying its campaign to evict indigenous peoples from the rightful land so that even more rain forest can be cleared. i used to santa fe v ma, quezon g. for us, it's always been about living in harmony with nature. if you take something away, you have to give something back at my alley though. if the idea was to live well together and this is no longer the case is unfair, people are just taking that with their sub bag on bell. they're good. yeah. the preservation of the rain forest is essential. that's what indigenous peoples,

climate scientists, human rights activists and artists are fighting for including swiss director meals . how does this was the i'm addict, practically one of the last regions that has not been completely sucked into the system now and whether it's still a struggle going on that runs very deeply t 40 to the roots of our past soon and also to our future and that about little to because of the amazon dies months was g. o been, so does the planet the needs need? oh, how said his interpretation of the greek tragedy antigone. in the amazon, it's about the struggle between divine law and human justice, about the tyrant, korean, who wants to preserve his power at any cost. and of antigone, who resists em. an allegory for the cultural war and brazil between the government and those fighting for their land and their survival. as an oblique, if this is a political action, it's not only an international reduction,

you'll notice that safety, it's a real political collaboration is on. although rehearsals, for antigone in the amazon bring together, indigenous actor is like hi sata and members of the landless workers movement, brazil's largest resistance group, where millions of supporters fight peacefully yet radically for land reform. the brazilian european co production is an act of resistance using art to envision a better future. remember, oh oh wow. yeah, we don't have the answers as european in a i need other voices, english, jim, human. don't somebody who warns us about what is going to happen, jones to glinda, and you don't go, gives us reasons to essentially explains our own perversion and tells us, for example, is, are we are the cause of the disaster and not the sad victims of climate change it was i was the

scanning one means not that means. oh by means miss coleman was spar that his back opposed. magic came to sound g by the zone up was media is genome and you submitted a song for developing some mean, but they will say you cannot that are my vision resolve a sta mcwarder. they've aqaba casara plays the lead role of antigone. she's a woman who goes fearlessly to her death, spurred on by her faith in the divine and her convictions. illness i be a kid. i had no idea who and take any was i hadn't thought about it before, but then i realized that we indigenous people have a lot in common with this antigone. a. oh gosh, i like being an actress. i like working in this artistic medium because i know that

my body is political and i know how important it is to work in this field to this olga with her body and performances. she creates images that are unforgettable. me hello, salty. my stay in terms of the climate. i think that we're so desperate because we're very dependent on other people doing something up there for sale gama coins in the new in this performance as fix the i, i thought i construct the metaphor on the suffocating greed of people who cut down the rain forest so i saw her, so i'll mail vis, said i think the solution is swapping and politicians who will actually do something for the environment off of all acts the best way for us to save ourselves to see silva, the amazon rain forest to survive. indigenous voices must be hard,

including those in the city. back to the rain forest metropolis of mouse. emerson portions was 5 years old when their family moved to the city. they enjoyed the advantages of urban life, but always saw contact with nature and indigenous ancestors. ale, so on those lines is another. i belong to the indigenous peoples whose history are god, has been erased out of the proper ball and to live in or near the city bars, or compared to displaced from their culture on the and community affairs of rwanda . it's important that the world learned and brazil itself remembers that there are many different contexts and what it means to be an indigenous person. who cares that in the 21st century cycle in flooring. but as the emerson was lucky to find a teacher who shared in their enthusiasm for nature and motivated emerson to study

biology today, emerson is paying it forward by encouraging young people imparting knowledge through workshops and working for cultural institutions and ngos to say the amazon rain forest e poor. so catherine, 4 years ago i finished my biology studies boss loanable which bliss this baby. but i didn't become a biologist solely through academia. danika ski is and observing living beings as objects, toys as vivas, co morbid jad, those 4 m are saw. art is an attempt to tray, how everything is interconnected, as we had also darma. and we're so brings together academic knowledge, ancient spirituality, and experience as a non binary transgender person. the state of being in between, as well as the unity of these existence as granted by any of the spiritual

political social i bully ecological rise, ambien and climate crises. we are experiencing today or have arisen because we listened solely to our own needs. as humans woman's we allow one says to reflect on the whole list of the world. merging with the environment. like here in the forest with a centuries old tree. art as a kind of ceremony that aims to bring us back to nature and a wake up call with a z this. there are many forms of life in our world, in comparison sit over the life which deserves to be heard. but experiment is so vivid. if we want to preserve light on the bed, we must reserve all living things nay. of would 30,

there is no future without the amazon bill. amazon. now you food with
