David Stang, the brother of murdered American nun Dorothy Stang, has spread out pictures, books, magazines, and documentaries about his big sister on his coffee table. He is eager to share these things.
"Dorothy told me the day before she died to tell her story. So here I am," US-based Stang said.
It is one of the reasons why shortly after her murder, he allowed documentary producers to follow him to Brazil as he sought to understand her death and as he sought justice at trial after trial for several years.
Dorothy Stang was a Catholic nun who lived among the poor in the Amazon for almost 40 years. The largest rainforest in the world, which produces oxygen for everyone on Earth, is being rapidly destroyed.
Sister Dorothy was working on a government-approved plan to preserve the land and protect the locals from being forced out. Wealthy ranchers and loggers in the area had other ideas.
"It was organized crime. This group of five organized thieves planned, premeditated and murdered my sister execution-style," David Stang said.
