Cooking in the Amazon

This video takes place in a small settlement somewhere in the Amazon basin. The houses are  rather ramshackle looking, but there is power brought into it so it may be less remote than one would first expect. In one scene you see a TV playing in a back room, and there are satellite dishes on some of the houses. 

It starts with a man and his son going out to gather fruits and greens. They return to their home via a boat. It looks like it is setup as tour boat, so perhaps this settlement is somewhere around Manaus? 

When they return the women cook a meal -- fish covered with onions and greens wrapped in a leaf cooked over a fire, as well as some sort of a flour, perhaps casava, as a side dish. They also have fruit drinks.

The video ends with several shots of the settlement.
