“Endless War” narrates the history, resistance and struggle against the extermination, especially during Brazil’s military dictatorship, of the Krenak Peoples.
The film presents statements by members of the Krenak ethnicity and of specialists, collated by the Office of the Public defender of Minas Gerais and by the Technical Group on Indigenous Peoples and the Military Dictatorship of the 6th Chamber of Coordination and Review of the Office of the Public Defender, which proposes actions in defense of the Krenak.
Drawing from records, the documentary approaches the origins of the Krenak, the violent encounters with Europeans, and the campaigns of extermination that occurred from the period of colonization to the military dictatorship of 1964-1985.
The film was launched during Amnesty Week and was part of the Virada Sustenável 2016.
Documentary produced by Unnova Productions in partnership with the Office of the Federal Prosecutor/ Public Defender (MPF – 6CCR; PR-MG; PRR 3rd Region) with support of the National Association of Federal Prosecutors (ANPR -Associação Nacional dos Procuradores da República) and the ANDHEP.
Across the world right now, Indigenous peoples are facing a renewed assault on their lands, rights, and ways of life.
From extractive industries pushing deeper into ancestral territories, to governments rolling back hard-won protections,
the threat is global—and it is growing.
What makes this moment especially dangerous is how little attention it receives.
Stories like this are disappearing in real time. Mainstream media
barely covers it and the coverage is fragmented. The public is left without the context
needed to understand what is truly at stake.
That is exactly why IC Magazine exists..
For more than 20 years, IC has reported on Indigenous struggles worldwide — consistently, independently, and without compromise.
We don’t follow news cycles; we trace patterns. We don’t sensationalize; we provide context.
And when the world looks away, we stay focused.
But this work is increasingly difficult to sustain.
We refuse to lock our reporting behind a paywall. We don’t sell access through subscriptions.
And we don’t answer to advertisers. IC Magazine survives solely because readers like you choose to
support independent Indigenous journalism.
Please donate today if you can. Every contribution helps us to continue this crucial work.
Thank you,
