The Wire

Deep in the Amazon jungle, Indigenous children are subject to the age-old tradition of Infanticide: murdering babies because of spiritual superstitions. Brazilian linguists and missionaries Marcia and Edson Suzuki adopted a five-year-old survivor of infanticide: Hakani. Seven years on, Marcia tells the story of Hakani’s unique survival, and explains the documentary film and campaign the couple have initiated with the Indigenous people in Brazil.
