Director James Cameron & actress Sigourney Weaver
spotlight real-life Avatar struggle in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil,
shedding light on future plans to build the Belo Monte Dam along the Xingu River.
If the plan goes through many indigenous tribes will lose villages their ancestors held sacred for centuries due to diversion of the rivers natural water flow, sending many of them underwater.
Flooding estimates of 668 square kilometers, and displacing more than 20k people.
The $17-billion project will additionally contaminate the ecosystem generating methane,
which the global warming hypocrisy should note is 25 times more potent greenhouse gas.
