ACT I
- Once upon a time there was a village with native indigineous roots and ancestry in the Brazilian rainforest.
-The village has become as mismatch of tribal construction and cultural traditions with urban type shacks and, internet connection,
- noisy motorcycles blast off.
- kids play loud music off mobile devices.
- Everyday Tupã warned his tribe that the elder shamans could sense wildfires advancing from the south.
- He tells a couple, they simply walk along and shrug their shoulders.
- He tries to talk to a kid who can’t get his eyes off his videogame.
- Until one day smoke began to cover the horizon over the forest, and Tupã needed to do something fast.
-Birds fly on the horizon
-Silhouettes of wild animals can be seen in the bushes.

ACT II
- Because of that, Tupã was determined that he needed to make the people of the village aware that the danger was real.
-He eavesdrops on the conversation of the couple that is walking away, they are commenting on a flatlander video.
-He watches videos on the internet and realizes there are hundreds of them affirming that the wildfires are digital fabrications of television stations and there is no danger in sight.

- Because of that he realizes that he could use the same tools that spread fake news to preserve his tribe and heritage.
-Tupã accesses the Federal National Environmental Protection portal and there is no official data on wildfires
- He researches information available from international environment preservation non-governmental organizations and finds tons of news about the fires.
- Because of that he goes after support from a network of digital activists.
- They represent a diversity of social, cultural, artistic, ecological and peace collectives from different parts of the world.
- Chat with Tupã discussing a plan to protect the Forest from the fires.
-Memes unmasking the negationists start to flood digital networks.

ACT III
- Until finally he mobilizes the lids in the village, they rehearse a dance, with echo es of ancient traditions, shoot it like a music video and post the clips on social networks. The fight the "fire dance” video "viralizes", causing a huge impact mobilizing a wave of thousands of people come by car, foot, sailing.
-However it was not easy - people who claimed the wildfires we’re fake news formed militias, blocking the roads with oil tanks on fire halting the migration of activists and animals fleeing the smoke and fires from the south.
-Suddenly the fire they set joined the fire from the south and the militia fled to the smoggy lands, and the people who came to help Tupã manage to cross the river and escape the fire.
-They position themselves on the perimeter of the forest, and start dancing sending vibrations that cause a seismic shift detaching the territory from the smoggy lands in the south.
-The earth cracks on along the edge of the forest, ocean water seeps in creating new seas
- Ever since then a new continent has formed, inhabited by peaceful communities sharing resources, living in harmony with nature,respecting different beliefs and preserving cultural heritage.
