Summary
The Waiapi are nomads who migrate through the virgin forests in northern Brazil that have faced the encroachment of loggers and developers. With the help of human rights groups they managed to gain legal title to their traditional lands. Filmmaker Geoffrey O'Connor's Academy Award-nominated documentary, "At the Edge of Conflict" offers an inside look at their struggle. This episode focuses on the fight of indigenous peoples of the world to remain on their land. With development due to globalization increasing in traditionally tribal countries, the indigenous population is being pushed onto smaller parcels of land in the name of economic development.
