Resumen:
This paper
seeks to measure the use of indigenous audiovisual production as a strategic resource in the
struggle for rights. We are interested in highlighting the determining presence of the camera
as a recording device that oscillates as a political weapon, placing itself at the center of the
conlict as an eyewitness. For this our analysis is based on two documentaries made by Xavante
Divino Tserewahú. The irst is the record of the direct confrontation between indigenous people
of the Sangradouro community and police authorities of the municipality of Primavera do
Leste, driven after the allegedly illegal arrest of a young man from the community. The second
is a documentary about the 25th anniversary celebration of the Macuxi People’s struggle for
the homologation of the Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Land, in Roraima.
