For anyone who hasn't seen it, Aura is one of the most powerful documentaries I've ever seen. I mention it because it's also about Brazilian natives, but two that were taken in.
Their bond to each other, fear of the new world, confusion, and inability to communicate are heartbreaking. The way they try to smile at the camera alone is haunting.

> I used to refer to it as an "aura"
The protagonist in Fabián Belinsky's last movie (RIP) refers to it that way, too: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0420509.
