Festival Trailer for Eco Thriller 'Transamazonia' Set in Brazil's Amazon

"We don't trust your God." Agreed - neither do I. An early festival promo trailer has debuted for the indie film titled Transamazonia, that's currently premiering at the 2024 Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland underway this week. This France, Germany, Switzerland, Taiwan, Brazil co-production is set in the Amazon rainforest within Brazil. Rebecca, the daughter of a missionary, was declared a "miracle" after she survived a plane crash as a child, deep in the Amazon jungle. Years later, she has become a miracle healer, sustaining their mission thanks to her local fame and power. But when illegal loggers invade the land belonging to the indigenous people they evangelize, her father maneuvers them into the epicenter of this escalating conflict. The film stars Helena Zengel as Rebecca, Jeremy Xido, Joao Vitor Xavante, Pira Assurini, Hama Vieira, and Sabine Timoteo. This looks like a fascinatingly complex thriller, setting up dramatic stakes between two manipulators on opposites sides, with the local tribe stuck in the middle of it all. Worth a look. // Continue Reading ›
