DIRECTOR PRESENT

In October 1964, the indigenous Ikpeng people living in a remote part of the Brazilian rainforest had their first contact with the outside world. The remarkable archival footage of this historic meeting of 'primitive' and modern man is the basis for PIRINOP, MY FIRST CONTACT.

A lively investigation that delves into the ethics of colonisation and relocation. In the process of re-enacting this first encounter, the tribe elders reveal the painful consequences of integration into modern society.
