Based on the universe of three indigenous peoples pressured by the destruction caused by mining, the film proposes an approach to the thought of the Yanomami, Munduruku and Mebêngôkre (Kayapó), in the formation of a historical alliance in defense of territories.

Beyond the destruction caused by mining, this is a film about the impossibility of separation between indigenous existence and their territory.

“And I think to myself….what a wonderful world”. Louis Armstrong sang about this notion via his classic 1967 song, an ode to witnessing elements of our life that should be but some reminders of exactly what that concluding line of each verse indicates.

It sounds harsh, but again, so much of what is occurring speaks not to beauty, but bedlam.

The Lighthouse is patient and hypnotic, pulling us in with its mysterious atmosphere and characters. The film’s slow pace proves to be monumentally effective, showcasing the tedious nature that comes with isolation and poor two-way communication.
