Do I Kill Them?

About This Movie

Do I Kill Them? is a striking documentary from 1983 that really digs into the grim realities of indigenous extermination in Brazil. The film unfolds with this sharp, ironic undertone, almost like a twisted quiz, forcing you to grapple with the moral implications of inaction and complicity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the weight of the subject matter to sink in, while the stark imagery of the Mangueirinha reserve sets a haunting atmosphere. It’s not just about what’s shown, but what’s left unsaid, which makes it all the more chilling. The lack of a known director adds an air of mystery, perhaps reflecting the anonymity of the victims. It’s a unique piece, really, that sticks with you long after the credits roll.
