If the individual pictured and quoted is an "Amazonian tribe that was contacted a few months/years before the shooting" then it is a misrepresentation that these tribe members were uncontacted. And, surely, if they are ashamed, would they not cover up?

@ChrisRogers If you watch the documentary, you'll see that it took a few months between the first contact and this interview. No idea regarding why not wear something. Maybe too difficult to fabricate something in the jungle that is convenient to wear?

@FranckDernoncourt I find that difficult to believe considering I have seen documentaries showing members of different tribes (who have had influence from Western clothed people) using large leaves, gourds, animal skin etc.
