"At the end of a long filming day in the Amazon, one feels as if it had been three. So what really comes to account is the people
who support you through it, your crew, the people who believe in you and make it happen. I have many to thank in this journey, and
especially my small, but dedicated crew, who, with their hard work and commitment, helped me to surmount the difficulties...

"LOTS & LOTS to share with you on the making of this film in the more than 130 hours of making of recorded by my dear crew. It has been a long, challenging and sometimes dangerous journey because of the nature of the location, filming along the rivers and in the jungle...  (Some of the first rubber soldiers i filmed in a small village in the year 2000, when i first started my research for this film)
 This film is an old and dear dream of mine, and I always knew that it was going to be just a matter of time, for me to tell this story. When i lived in the jungle, I kept on dreaming that one day i would make it out of my little village and would be able to do it somehow. But for a little jungle girl attending school for the first time at the age of twelve, living in a very poor and small jungle village in the Amazon, that dream had to wait. So in the year 2000 i went to Brazil and did my first trip into the Amazon rivers searching for subjects. And there, i found more than i bargained for...
 This project has been an obstinate quest, to which and in which, i have given my all, because i felt compelled deeply and personally. I invite you to come with us into this journey.... so grab your sunshades and your mosquito repellents and stand by ...it's going to be wild." - Eva Neide - |
