On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk

SYNOPSIS
The Last Forest is about the long struggles of the Yanomami in Brazil to defend their land and their people in the Amazon region. It narrates, from the perspective of their leader, shaman Davi Kopenawa, the impact of global consumption of gold, timber, and other resources on the lives of that community and the land to which they belong.
