Alex Pritz

“The film is gorgeously and sometimes ingeniously conceived, painting an intimate first-hand portrait of joy, pain, and community, before bursting with rip-roaring intensity as it captures a high-stakes struggle for survival unfolding in the moment.”

“Vivid in its specificity, global in its implications”

”A runaway hit at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, the film is a gripping environmental saga. It’s a thrilling feat that sees art and activism collide.”

“The Territory” is more than meets the eye, revealing its most profound observations in stages across its running time. The film’s luscious cinematography captures the sun-dappled island of jungle where the Uru Eu Wau Wau reside, a land slowly being consumed by flames as farmers and other settlers illegally raze the forest for pastures, with few repercussions.

“One of the most impactful, moving, and consequential documentaries about climate change to be released since An Inconvenient Truth."

“Pritz delivers an emotionally engaging story filled with heart, heroes, and a bit of hope to hold onto. There is no more urgent film that demands your attention this year.”

The Territory… [is] moving precisely because it goes right to the heart of what filmmaking can be – a tool to capture, control and explicate a unique world view.”

”An overwhelmingly evocative and emotional experience, reverentially delving into this unseen world just as it continually teeters on the edge of irreversible annihilation.”

“By the end of “The Territory,” both sumptuous and enraging, Pritz reminds viewers how film can be for remembering and preserving as much for rebellion and art.”
