And no really old people and no women.
Before even coming to talk to you about this, we passed this through anthropologists and ethicists and people.
And we said, look, is it even, can we talk about this?
Because if you talk about this and you tell people there's these uncontacted tribes, people have misconceptions.
They go, they're the last free people on earth.
They're living the real life.
We need to go join them.
We want to see them.
We want to photograph.
There's all this bad stuff that happens
And all these people want us to be left alone.
So the last thing we want to do is kill the thing we're trying to protect and tell the world.
But at the same time, they're speaking out.
They're saying, stop cutting our trees, leave us alone.
And so if we're not successful in the greater jungle keepers mission of protecting this river, they cease to exist.
And so advocating for these people requires us to have this conversation and requires us to have this footage and to show the world and then leave them alone.
In order for any of this to make sense, I have to show you this footage.
And this has not been shown ever before.
This is a world first.
I mean, up until now, that's the other thing, you know, we're sitting there this day and, you know, the only thing you've ever seen are these blurry images from someone's cell phone from 100 meters away of the uncontacted tribes.
