Ella Al-Shamahi joins a complex police operation deep in the Amazon, as the authorities attempt to clamp down on illegal mining, which is poisoning the ecosystem of the rainforest. When the Spanish arrived in the Amazon 500 years ago, indigenous populations were devastated by disease and enslavement. Today's descendants of the Amazon's once flourishing civilisation are facing the same threats as a hostile world closes around them. Ella joins indigenous groups who are trying to fight back, formally marking land borders and using mobile phone technology to listen for illegal logging in the forest.
