In 1996, a Brazilian official and a Swedish journalist travel deep into the Amazon to meet the Korubo tribe. Their expedition becomes a sensation with rare footage from a hidden world. Decades later, filmmaker Nathan Grossman revisits the material, revealing a more complex truth.

The film Amazomania combines the original footage with a return journey – where the tribe demands compensation and the right to tell their own story. A powerful study of ethics, misunderstanding, and the power of documentary filmmaking, widely praised by critics at CPH:DOX.

The film is screened with English subtitles.

Runtime: 93 min

Amazomania is screened in partnership with CPH:DOX.
