EL INDÍGENA ROSA CONTRA LA BESTIA INVISIBLE

Between the 1940s and 70s, public health physician Noel Nutels travelled throughout inland Brazil attending to indigenous, rural and riverside communities. Noel documented many of his expeditions on 16 mm film. In 1968, he was invited to talk about the indigenous question before a parliamentary investigation committee, a few days before the dictatorship in Brazil radicalised. His unpublished films and the recording of this speech to the committee (the only recording of this voice) come together in The Pink Indian Against the Invisible Beast, to denounce the historic massacre against indigenous peoples.

Documentary maker, script writer and researchers, he has directed documentary shorts and television series. “The Pink Indian against the invisible beast” is his first feature length.
