SUBLIME CINEMA #319 - THE EMERALD FOREST
After making Deliverance and Excalibur, John Boorman combined the two and made the Emerald Forest, an overlooked 80s gem about a boy taken and assimilated into indigenous tribe in Brazil, known only as ‘the Invisible People’. The story is a familiar one, but it’s done so well, with a rich and believable atmosphere that doesn’t diminish the roles of the indigenous or turn them into cliches. It also preceded Avatar/New World/Pocahontas by a long shot.
It partially bombed out of the gate when the production company behind it was on the verge of going bankrupt by the time the film was released, making it a challenge for them to market it, so it landed no real accolades or awards, but it’s a gorgeous movie.

For International Women’s Day, remember the indigenous women.
Too often, violence against Indigenous women is met with silence from authorities, thanks in part to jurisdictional limits that prevent some tribal courts from prosecuting nontribal members. Investigations are often delayed—and sometimes, authorities don’t look into these cases at all. So in an effort to keep their communities safe, Indigenous activists have begun using crowdsourced databases, community patrols, and other methods to seek justice.
