On the 5th of June this year, a 10-day search for two men began in the deep of the Amazon. 

British journalist Dom Phillips and Indigenous expert Bruno Pereira had travelled into the rainforest as part of research into Phillips’ new book: “How to Save the Amazon”.

Both had championed the cause of Brazil’s indigenous communities against those forces threatening their very existence.

In today’s episode, we talk to Latin America Correspondent Guillermo Galdos, who was with the team when they discovered the men’s belongings.
