Amazomania

A hazardous expedition to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, filmed in 1996, becomes a cultural and moral minefield in Amazomania, a thought-provoking documentary in which Swedish director Nathan Grossman (I Am Greta, Climate in Therapy) explores the white man’s gaze and turns the camera on colonial legacy and the film itself.

The doc, world premiering in the main competition of the 23rd edition of CPH:DOX, the Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival, on Monday, March 16, is a tale of two halves.
