Amazon, Brazil – Harmony is described in festival listings and distribution entries as a feature documentary filmed around Manaus and the Amazon River, exploring the complex interaction between human development and the natural environment in the Amazon. It foregrounds local voices and perspectives on topics like urbanization, river pollution, deforestation, cultural and spiritual practices tied to the river, and Indigenous ways of living in balance with the environment. 

​

Key elements noted in program descriptions:

​

• The film begins in Manaus, the city built within the rainforest, and contrasts urban challenges (pollution, poverty, social issues) with the fundamental importance of the Amazon River to local life. 

• Through interviews with locals—including lawyers, Indigenous villagers and community leaders—the narrative juxtaposes modern pressures with traditional ecological knowledge and culture, especially from riverine and village communities along the Rio Negro. 

• The work highlights environmental threats (pollution, deforestation) but also Indigenous perspectives on harmony with nature and accumulated cultural wisdom about living sustainably.
