Our Directors executed an innovative outreach campaign: the Guarani Kaiowa communities who shared their stories in the film were given ownership of broadcast rights and succeeded in negotiating sales with the Brazilian government as well as global NGOs, which translated the work into several languages. Physical copies were distributed at the United Nations Rio+20 Climate Conference in 2012. The tribes continue to use the film as material to further the cause of land protection. The movie started being filmed in the communities in the south of Mato Grosso do Sul, on April of 2008, and counted on the support from the Association of Guarani Kaiowá Teachers and from the NGOs Missionary Indigenist Council (CIMI) and Foodfirst Information and Action Network (Fian International). Its completion, done in an "almost handmade" way, was concluded on January of 2011. The most part of the information found out in the communities, with public institutions and with farmers associations are a part of the investigation works that Navarro develops since 2002. Seven background songs were composed specially for the documentary by Thomas Leonhardt. The hip-hop band "Bro'w", that sings the song "No Yankee", is formed by youths from the Guarani Kaiowá communities of Dourados, Mato Grosso do Sul. The Portuguese narration was done by the Brazilian samba singer Fabiana Cozza. The documentary also have Spanish, French, English and Dutch narrations.
