Without their ancestral land, the Guarani cannot survive. (Survival)

In Survival International’s newest film, Guarani leader Eliseu Lopes speaks out against the devastating theft of his tribe’s land. "We reoccupy parts of our land for our own safety, and to give ourselves a chance to survive."

Forced to live in overcrowded reserves and roadside camps while ranchers earn huge profits on their land, the Guarani suffer alarming rates of malnutrition, suicide and violence. A recent wave of eviction orders threatens to further worsen their horrific plight.

Despite many promises, successive governments have failed to resolve Brazil’s worst humanitarian crisis. Watch the film above and take action
