00:08to kill us, to steal our children, and bring them to destruction.
00:24Almost all the rivers of Tapajós, they are rivers of land today.
00:29Coming to this region, everything that exists is in function of the garim.
00:34Everything, everything, everything is in turn of gold.
00:42For 30 years, with the garim, the studies have shown a high level of mercury in the blood of these people.
00:51Every region of the Amazon, where there is garim, is contaminated.
00:59The war of Minamata, in Japan, took 35 years for Japanese to recognize them,
01:05because that was a mercury intoxication.
01:07Now imagine here.
01:09Our waters are contaminated by mercury.
01:15Our water is empty!
01:19If I'm full of mercury, no one will help me.
01:22If we don't take care of the Amazon, who will take care of them?
01:27We've already done some things that?
01:31Thanks so much.
01:32We have a couple more minutes.
