About the film
Green River explores the perception of time in three small villages intertwined by the flowing waters of the Amazon river. This hybrid narrative depicts the bodies of native elders to evoke the ghosts of rubber colonialism at the end of XIX century, and the memory of ancient indigenous cultures still alive, but in danger of disappearing as a consequence of global capitalism.
