Today on Live Your Dreams, we follow filmmaker Christina Rose on a journey that feels nothing short of an odyssey one that spans continents, generations, and nearly a century of forgotten history.
Her new documentary, The Lost Voice, takes Christina deep into the Brazilian Amazon as she uncovers the untold story of her great-grand aunt Pola Brückner, believed to be the first woman to ever film in the rainforest. From the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro to the riverbanks of Belém, the raw wild of Marajó Island, and the pulse of São Paulo, Christina retraces a film expedition frozen in time reviving a legacy the world almost lost.
Along her path, she makes a stunning archaeological discovery: long-lost railway tracks buried beneath decades of soil and silence, a moment that reignites cultural pride and moves respected historians to tears. Working alongside experts like Elena Welper, Wolfgang Fuhrmann, and Rodrigo Campos, Christina pieces together a narrative that blends adventure, scholarship, and the enduring power of human determination.
As her findings head to SOCINE 2025, Christina’s odyssey reminds us that film is more than art it’s a vessel that carries memory across time. This episode is an invitation into her courage, her purpose, and the voice she’s helping the world hear again.
