What's ‘The Territory’ About?

The Territory offers a deeper look into the Amazon Rainforest's long-lived fight through a young leader of the Iru-eu-wau-wau community who tries to counter-attack the significant deforestation by settlers, colonizers, and farmers.

Thanks to advanced technology, The Territory showcases Amazon Rainforest's heartwarming landscape, supported by finely blended sound techniques.

The film will also take viewers to the Iru-eu-wau-wau community as settlers and farmers burn, cut, and clear trees from the beloved Amazon forest. Amazon's fight started years ago, although the intensification of the COVID-19 pandemic affected its flow. You cannot afford to miss the battle when The Territory launches on Disney+.

Alex Pritz's The Territory joins other Disney+ documentaries such as We Feed People, Sketchbook, The Beatles: Get Back, The Rescue, and Folklore: The Long Pond Sessions.
