The Madeira River: Life Before the Dams
The Madeira River: Life Before the Dams tells the story of the people of Brazil and Bolivia affected by the construction of the Santo Antonio and Jirau dams, part of the Madeira Hydroelectric Complex.

It documents expectations, opinions, and fears of people, whose livelihood depends on the river, including indigenous communities.
