Biopirates: The São Luis Letter Trailers

In December 2000, in the Brazilian city of São Luís do Maranhão, 23 shamans of various indigenous Brazilian groups claimed the patent of their traditional knowledge through the "Letter of Sao Luis". Between cities and forests, the Indians seek tools to defend themselves against the assaults of the multinational pharmaceutical industry and to protect biodiversity.

Reviews
Tacticalin An absolute waste of money
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
