In June 2022, British journalist Dom Phillips was murdered while working with the indigenist Bruno Pereira in the Javari Valley, one of the remotest regions of the Brazilian Amazon. The brutal deaths of Dom and Bruno shocked the world and exposed the unprecedented attack against indigenous communities and those fighting to preserve the environment. Where the Forest Ends is a personal essay in which filmmaker Otavio Cury reflects on the loss of his friend Dom, revisiting the first journey they made to the Amazon and the films they made together.
