Marcas de um Império

Storyline

At the height of the rubber boom, the British presence transformed the Amazon. Ports, railways, mansions, and river transport connected Manaus and Belém to the world. Behind this legacy, however, lay a profound human cost. Revisiting this period, the documentary reveals how modernization was sustained through the exploitation and erasure of Indigenous peoples and Black communities, questioning the enduring marks left by this past.
