Synopsis

In 2013, Cuiabá hosted the Indigenous Peoples' Games, the largest Indigenous sporting event in the world, on the land of the Boe, the Bororo people. Guided by a Bororo host, the film shows the event from the inside and beyond the sport: Indigenous strength, traditional food, the diversity of peoples and the importance of land.
