Amazonia Viva 10-min Virtual Reality Film

Amazonia Viva is an award-winning 10-minute virtual reality film that transports viewers to the Tapajós River region of the Brazilian Amazon. The 360° immersive experience unveils one of the most important ecosystems on the planet, bringing the Amazon closer to the people. Raquel Tupinambá, a cacique indigenous leader from the Surucuá community, welcomes the viewer into her homeland and guides them through a fully interactive virtual journey. Along the way, the majesty of the world’s largest rainforest is revealed, as are the imminent threats it faces. The film was produced by the Interfaith Rainforest Initiative Brazil, a partnership working to bring moral urgency and faith-based leadership to efforts to protect the Brazilian Amazon and defend the rights of indigenous peoples and traditional communities. Amazonia Viva is being showcased at major museums in Brazil and at global events around the world, and can be experienced by all Nature Hub participants in the first floor networking lounge.
