No More History Without Us (2026): Cast, Story and Release

Prepared by Movies Dock Editorial

No More History Without Us is a 2026 documentary manifesto from Amazonian filmmakers Priscilla Brasil and Raphael Uchôa. Moving between Munich and Belém, it examines the historical ideas used to portray and exploit the forest, connecting greenwashing with racism and prejudice in Brazil and beyond.

No More History Without Us is a documentary built around an Amazonian perspective on the stories told about the forest. Directed by Priscilla Brasil, the film considers how those narratives have shaped ideas about nature, population and power.

With Brasil and Raphael Uchôa serving as narrators, the film moves between Munich and Belém to investigate the historical process behind the invention and exploitation of the Amazon as an apparently inexhaustible Garden of Eden. Its central concerns include greenwashing, racism and prejudice.

No More History Without Us movie details

Story without spoilers

The film follows two Amazonian filmmakers as they challenge the historical framework that has repeatedly presented the forest as a resource without limits and its inhabitants as a population unable to speak for itself. Framed as a film manifesto, No More History Without Us connects environmental messaging with older systems of racial and cultural prejudice.

Its geographic movement between Munich and Belém broadens the discussion beyond one location. The documentary looks at how the idea of a “savage demographic emptiness” has been organised in Brazil and elsewhere, and how that idea continues to influence the way the Amazon is represented and exploited.

What to expect

This is a nonfiction film centered on historical critique, environmental discourse and representation. The premise points to an essayistic, manifesto-like approach rather than a conventional fictional narrative, with the filmmakers’ voices guiding the discussion.

Viewers can expect a focus on the relationship between greenwashing, colonial ideas about the forest and the treatment of Amazonian people as voiceless or absent from their own history. The film is presented in English and Portuguese and has a runtime of 1 hour and 16 minutes.

Cast and creative team

Priscilla Brasil directs No More History Without Us and co-writes it with Raphael Uchôa. Brasil and Uchôa also provide the narration, appearing in the credits as voice narrators.
