When We Sold Gods Eye : Diamonds, Murder and a Clash of Worlds in the Amazon

Growing up in a remote corner of the worlds largest rainforest, Pio, Maria, and Oita learned to hunt wild pigs and tapirs, gathering Brazil nuts and açaí berries from centuries-old trees.

Pushed by the government to assimilate, they struggled to understand their new, capitalist reality, discovering its wonders as well as its horrors. They ended up forging an uneasy symbiosis with their white antagonists - until an extraordinary seam of diamonds erupted in their territory and decades of suppressed trauma burst out in an act of retribution that made headlines across the globe.
