Video of uncontacted Amazon tribe triggering change

Deep in the world's largest rainforest, a few scatted tribes are clinging to a way of life on the verge of extinction.

Now the BBC and Survival International have teamed up for a campaign to help protect the last remaining uncontacted tribes in the Amazon. Their strategy? Use photos and videos to convince the world not only do these peoples exist, but that they are worth protecting.

Former "X-Files" star Gillian Anderson narrates a newly released video in which members of a tribe can be seen covered in red body paint, surrounded by their homes and gardens, looking up curiously at the aircraft above them.

Check out the video below.

The footage was taken from a distance of 1 kilometre  in an effort to minimize disruption, however, the tribespeoples' upturned faces suggest the effort was somewhat fruitless.
