Fisher Stevens on Indigenous Doc ‘We Are Guardians’: ‘We Aren’t Going to Get Paid to Do These Social Impact Films, But We Have to Continue to Make Them’

In 2019, Edivan Guajajara, Chelsea Greene, and Rob Grobman began filming “We Are Guardians,” a documentary about Indigenous forest guardians fighting to protect their ancestral lands from relentless invasions and deforestation in Brazil’s Amazon rainforest.

The directors followed various forest guardians of Brazil as they fought to protect the Amazon rainforest from destruction.

“Through the smoke and confusion of the media coming from Brazil and the international community, we decided to mobilize and uncover the truth,” Greene and Grobman said in a joint statement.”We wanted to hear from those closest to the forest, and the fires, what was happening, from their perspective.”
