Angel Of the AmazonAngel Of the Amazon
Synopsis:
This compelling new work is based on the true story of Sister Dorothy Stang (1931-2005), an American born member of the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur order. In 2005, at the age of 73, she was brutally murdered by assassins hired by the owner of a logging company, who felt her passion for the earth and all of its gifts to be a threat. angel of the amazon depicts her life's work and the events that set her on a path to martyrdom. Sister Dorothy began her mission in the Brazilian rainforest in the early 1970s, eventually becoming a Brazilian citizen. Her life's work was helping the indigenous farmers make a living by cultivating their land and extracting forest products with minimum impact on the ecosystem. Dot, as she was called by her family, friends, and most locals in Brazil, was extremely outspoken in her efforts on behalf of the poor and the environment. She is often pictured wearing a t-shirt with the slogan a Morte da floresta e o fim da nossa vida, which is Portuguese for "the death of the forest is the end of our life." It was this outspokenness that brought her into conflict with local landowners and businessmen and eventually resulted in her assassination.
