Lost Tribe Of The AmazonMarch 12, 2017

In 2014, one of the last tribes that had had no contact with the outside world emerged from the Amazon rainforest. This documentary has exclusive access to the tribe and documents first contact with members of the previously isolated tribe called the Txapanawa on the bank of the Envira River in the village of Simpatia in Brazil. An anthropologist José Carlos Meirelles goes deep into the Amazon to learn whether the emergence of a long-hidden tribe signals the end of humans living in total isolation.

Lost Tribe Of The Amazon was broadcast on SBS ONE at Thursday 20 February 2020, 04:00. This episode was initially placed on Sunday 12 March 2017.
