Ahead of its arrival on Netflix next month, the streaming service has released a trailer for its Colombian mystery crime thriller series Green Frontier (Frontera Verde), which has been created by Ciro Guerra, writer-director of the Oscar-nominated 2015 film Embrace of the Serpent; watch the trailer here…
Deep in the Amazon, on the border of Brazil and Colombia, a series of bizarre deaths are investigated by a young female detective, Helena, and her partner, an indigenous policeman named Reynaldo. It becomes clear that the murders are not the biggest mystery within this jungle when the corpse of a particular young woman has no signs of aging. Simultaneously, we follow the story of Yua, and Ushe, two natives who everyone calls “the eternals”, and their battle against Joseph, a foreigner who believes the indigenous population is harboring an incredible secret. The stories and characters will collide to unravel a mystery that can change their lives, and the whole of mankind.
Green Frontier arrives on Netflix on August 16th.
