Marco Bechis' Italo-Brazilian co-production, La Terra degli uomini rossi / BirdWatchers, currently in competition for the 2008 Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion, revolves around a sort of Romeo and Juliet romance that develops while agribusinesses and Indians fight in the Brazilian Mid-West. The English-language title refers to the tourists who flock to the area to take a peek at the local fauna.
Screenplay by Marco Bechis and Luiz Bolognesi, with collaboration by Lara Fremder. In the cast: Claudio Santamaria, Alicélia Batista Cabreira, Chiara Caselli, Abrísio da Silva Pedro, and Ademilson Concianza Verga.
The original Italian title translates as "The Land of the Red Men."
