Therefore, the documentary addresses important facts that can be used as a historical source, the various attempts to colonize the Brazilian Amazon during the 20th century, with historical photos, initiatives and actions that resulted in ecological, demographic, political and economic impacts or changes. Using the methodology of bibliographic research, data collection, and documentary analysis from the documentary “Amazônia-Herança de uma Utopia” the proposal is to know a little about the History of the Amazon whose dimensions are inserted in the regional history.
