PLOT: Tonho gaat op zoek naar de moordenaar van zijn vader Lirio, omgebracht voor ruwe diamanten. Hij raakt verzeild in een wereld van intriges, moord en komt in bezit van een schatkaart. Het avontuur begint in Rio de Janeiro. Via de Mato Grosso en junglestad Manaus komt hij tenslotte terecht in Novo Mundo, Pará, waar 258 jaar geleden een goudschat begraven werd. Dit is ook het gebied van de Mundurucu-stam, met hun mysterieuze wereld en het woud van de Surucucu slangen, het metafysische van Amazonas.

Sinds 1990 bezoekt hij Brazilië, waar hij vele reizen ondernam en in 1995 een bezoek bracht aan de Xavante Indianen in de staat Mato Grosso. Zijn oom, pater Thomas, die 40 jaar in Brazilië werkte, omschreef hem ooit: ‘Op zijn reizen door Brazilië wordt hij geleid door een mystiek gevoel van broederlijke verbondenheid met ras, bloed en bodem.’

The Amazon capacity to absorb carbon from the atmosphere, fell by half in just over 20 years, this according to the most comprehensive study ever done on the subject. From a peak of two billion tons of carbon dioxide per year in the 1990s, capturing the forest was reduced to one billion tons and, for the first time, is less than the fossil fuel emissions in Latin America.
The study, published Wednesday in the journal "Nature", was developed over 30 years, involved an international team of nearly a hundred researchers, led by the University of Leeds.
The survey is a warning. Although Amazon will act as a kind of brake of climate change by absorbing more carbon from the atmosphere than releases, the analyzed forest dynamics shows that there is an increased rate of dying trees throughout the forest.

Millions of people protested against the corruption of president Dilma Rouseff and her PT, cynically called the' labor party', a socialisme idea in Brasil which seems a phantasm
But what will be the result when Dilma leave the theatre? She is really involved in the corruption that rumbles the country and even her mentor Lula have no strength to stop the rotten direction. Impeachment will be a option, but there are some people who screaming and longing for a militaire invention. the army as saviour for Brasil. Again? Damned. This will be be disastrous, this will be a inferno for the country. The democratization will be further away then ever. Revolution is almost impossible in this country. A new wind which will come from the left wing should be the best way, but how truthful are the politicians? Money and devils horns seems more valuable than peace and good government, eyes for the poor, homeless, sem terras, indians, justice for the people.
favela Maré were 20 killings occured since april 2014
While warmly discuss the serious political and economic problems which runs in Brazil, most people will not behold another process as thats more harmful to democracy: the growing militarization of everyday life. Obviously, the poorest are the first to deal with it, and much more dramatically than in a correctly denounced repression in demonstrations. If someone ask if "military intervention" would be a solution to anything, they need to be told that it is already runs in some parts of Brasil. The deployment of military troops it's in most cases disatrous.

The defilé goes by, that rock of lizards, peeking at everything that moves slightly. The birds in all colors, red, yellow, blue and green, here where God shone the light greener it seems and blessed the animals that creep, climb and fly. "Hello are you there? Onça? climb the tree, see the capybara on that river bank, the primal beast, whither go's that colony of ants? The jacaré, tamandoea and surucucú, laugh, laugh sloth way up high in your safe tree. See the forest people, with their pride they run, the Xavante the best runners of the forest, followed by many others with their skills. It's not a carnival train, it is the procession of space, freedom, away from the white humanity. Brazil, the lights of the fireflies, they shine to the the people of the trees, which searching for justice. Justice? Where's is that landlord who complains? But see the poor little homesteaders in their canvas tents along the country roads, people in tears, crying for their children who are malnourished. Brazilian gypsies, that they are, searching for the place that will be found and, see the Umbanda mother hung with beads in the color of her brother Oxum. Oh, old blacks give me you wisdom as you gave them to many others, gave them to the helpless of today, the people in the arid deserts of the Northeast.
Iracema give us the fire so that Brazil will once may sigh of relief, away from the tyrant his yoke, his privatization, his destruction. The fireflies dancing around the pot of beans of the the believers, those who think that this will brings relief. God is love, but He also can be cruel, unyielding. The sun will scorch the sertao and the emotions of *Cangagaceiros will be re-opened and sunrays will bring forward the day that *Antonio and the counselor shall preach again, because the melancholic man ever believed in a Messiah, a savior even if it is sometimes full of fatalisme. See the wrath of the great rivers, full of blood and poison, see the bald black stumps of the once so proud trees, the giants of the forest, our mother, the emerald of the earth. What they doing to her? The Amazone wood; poorly now in the name of money, of the full overfet egoists, in the name of consumption. See the parrots crying and screaming under the scorching flames, hell, in the green hell. No! Let us dream of a country that is worthy of her name. The goodness of the people who live for here for more than 40.000 years, today, not tomorrow, dogs with the tongue out of their jaw sigh for any compassion: but to whom? Brazil looks at how the vultures try to eat, they are people in disguise, waiting for the corpse, still licking the last time. No, it's not a carnival defilé, it is the journey of the depressed dressed in the brightest colors imaginable, with animals as friends, and see the Makiritare, Kurripako, Wapishana, Wai -Wai, Apalai, Kayapó, Mundurucü, Catawishi, Yuma, Bocas Negras, Kawahib Cinta Larga, Nambikuara, Bororo, Xavante, Paressi, Sherente, Acroa, Shacriaba, Cuyavava Indians, they allready wearing their war paint, and see the oppressed homesteaders, in the land of the Abacaxi. *
