Bechis, a former political exile from Argentina with a clear anti-colonialist bent, may be angered by the Guarani's plight, but his movie - like these people - is contemplative, patient and forcefully determined.

Birdwatchers is impressively filmed and never less than interesting. If it has a weakness, it's that this is a familiar sermon: Save the rain forest. Respect its inhabitants.

Momentarily, it feels as if the Guarani could win this fight and maybe give it to globalization on the shins.

Birdwatchers is a nicely crafted piece of storytelling that is sad, but fascinating.
