Exploring the clash between tradition and modernity, this true story reveals how one of the Amazon's last uncontacted tribes turned to capitalism by running an illegal diamond mine. The narrative delves into the complexities and consequences of this decision, highlighting the tribe's transformation and the challenges they faced in the rainforest. Through their journey, the book examines the broader implications of economic exploitation and the impact of outside influences on indigenous cultures.
