[21:22] There's been a lot of reportage around the catastrophically large scale of fires burning in the Amazon in both Brazil and Bolivia. With 90,000 fires raging and smoke plumes you can see from space we explore the deeper political context to these fires, why they were lit and whose interests they serve.
