and that we would rape their women
and that we would, uh...

:09:09
do any kind of harm to them.
:09:12
There were other rumors by the press
that we were smuggling arms.

:09:16
That we had -While we were shooting
that we destroyed their fields.

:09:20
But we are not shooting yet.
:09:23
There were rumors that, uh,
we had four-

:09:26
On our demand,
four Aguaruna Indians were arrested...

:09:29
who were in opposition against us.
:09:32
Which is a blatant lie.
:09:34
And it can be checked easily.
:09:36

as an enemy that can be beaten...

:10:25
because they will not dare
to attack, uh...

:10:28
the, uh - the military camps.
:10:31
They will not dare to attack, uh,
the petrol companies...

:10:34
but since we are small,
we -we may be -

:10:38
uh, we may be the losers.
:10:47
Sensing imminent danger, Herzog pulls
most ofhis film crew out of thejungle.

:10:52
On December 1, 1979,
armed Indians surround the film camp...

:10:56
and order everyone
who's still there to leave.

:10:59
When the camp is empty,
the Aguarunas burn it to the ground.
