A revealing story of the people who live in the Amazon River Valley: the rubber tappers, river people, small landholders and natives. Augusta Dwyer not only spoke to them; she lived among them, sharing their meals and their way of life. In addition, she was one of the few journalists to become close friends with Chico Mendes, who did more than any other individual to alert the world to the rape of the rain forest. Brutally murdered in 1988, he has become synonymous with the plight of the Amazonian people and the extraordinary world they inhabit.
