SUMMARY:Amazonia: The New Minamata?
DESCRIPTION:Amazonia: The New Minamata? \nThe documentary “Amazonia: The New Minamata?” follows the saga of the Munduruku people\, who live on the banks of the Amazon. The film reveals how mercury contamination threatens their health and ancestral territories due to the use of illegally sourced mercury in gold mining. The documentary invites doctors and researchers to investigate the health crisis and the potential reenactment of the tragic health consequences of mercury poisoning detected in Minamata\, Japan\, in the 1950s. It is a powerful narrative that highlights the urgent need for action to protect the Amazon and its inhabitants from the shadow of Minamata disease. \nFILM PRESENTATION: \nAmazonia: The New Minamata? \nThursday\, March 5 @ 5:00 PM Rollins College\, Crummer Auditorium \nPost-screening Panel Conversation: \n\nShan-Estelle Brown\, Associate Professor of Anthropology\, Faculty Director of Global Health\nAndrea S.
