A WORLD APART

Also known as A World Apart, this Brazilian documentary series by Arne Sucksdorff was produced during his years living in Mato Grosso with his wife Maria da Graça and local collaborators. Filmed between 1970 and 1976, it records everyday life, landscapes, and wildlife of the Pantanal wetlands, highlighting both the beauty of the region and the pressures facing its environment. Combining observational footage with an ecological perspective, Mundo à Parte extends Sucksdorff’s work in På jordens baksida (1972), continuing his exploration of Brazil’s natural world and the communities who live within it.
