Government policy encouraged widespread de-forestation, gold mining using industrial methods. The government proposed the first hydro-electrical plant based at the Tucurui Dam in the North Eastern State of Pará, Brazil. Producer Cecilia Vaisman traveled to the south western state of Acra, where she speaks with Ilzamar Mendes, widow of Chico Mendes. Mendes had organized a rubber tappers union, worked on rubber industry reforms, and murdered for his work. Surrounded by the cacophony of the rainforest, we learn about extensive development plans from ranchers, miners and industry representatives. In the state of Pará, home to the proposed dam, we hear how Brazilian political leaders were beginning to initiate policies for a sustainable future. It was the dawn of Brazilian attempts to save the Amazon rainforest. Few Brazilians knew much about environmental science, but what they did know was that the environmental and social consequences of developing the rainforest were severe.
