No País das Amazonas is a 1922 Brazilian silent documentary film directed by Agesilau De Araujo and Silvino Santos.[1]
The film was notable in that it was one of the earliest to document the Amazon Rainforest on camera and present it to a wider audience[citation needed] and documents the local economies of the Amazonian Indians, examining production lines and workers in factories. It also portrays fishing on the Amazon River as a way of life, and shows how the locals prepare the fish for sale with salt. Later on, the film also examines rubber plantations in the rainforest and how the locals make use of the natural reserves for export.
The film premiered on January 12, 1922 in Rio de Janeiro.[2]
