In this "remarkable" true story, an Amazonian tribe is forced to reconcile with Westerners entering their territory and running an illegal diamond mine. Growing up in a remote corner of the world's largest rainforest, Pio, Maria, and Oita witnessed the first highway pierced through the century-old trees, and they lost their families to terrible new weapons and diseases. Pushed by the government to assimilate, they struggled to figure out their new capitalist reality, discovering its wonders as well as its horrors. They forged an uneasy symbiosis with their white antagonists-until decades of suppressed trauma erupted into a massacre; an act of retribution that made headlines across the globe. Based on six years of immersive reporting and research, When We Sold God's Eye is a story of survival against all odds; of the temptations of wealth and the dream of prosperity; of a vital ecosystem threatened by the hunger for natural resources; of genocide and revenge. Most of all, it's about a few startlingly clever individuals and their power to adapt and even thrive in the most unlikely circumstances.
