"The Amazon is often a hostile territory for those who fight for freedom of the press and the right to access information. Illegal economies, groups outside the law, political interference and the lack of structure and resources are challenges for journalists, communicators, environmental activists and human rights defenders working in the region.
These professionals are often exposed to different types of aggression and censorship – including those that are self-inflicted. This is the context portrayed in the documentary 'Guardians of the Amazon: the echo of journalism in the territory', released this Wednesday, May 15, 2024, and produced by the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism (Abraji, for its acronym in Portuguese) in partnership with the Foundation for Press Freedom (FLIP), of Colombia."
