A documentary made by the Vídeo nas Aldeias project, shows the reactions of the indigenous Waiãpi group, first contacted in 1973 during the construction of the Perimetral-Norte highway in Amapá, upon seeing their own image and that of Indians Gavião, Nhambiquara, Krahô, Guarani and Kaiapó on a television set. This piece has no a reporter or narrator and restricted editing , in order to not interfere or guide the testimonials. The title refers to the statement of the shaman who felt affected when he saw images of a ritual to evoke spirits on the screen.
