The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper<\/em><\/strong>, a five-time Emmy\u00ae Award-winning CNN Original, returns with\u00a0a rare glimpse at a world deep in the Amazon jungle\u00a0as it gets its first experience of\u00a0the internet. \u201cThe Wired Rainforest\u201d with CNN Chief International Security Correspondent\u00a0Nick Paton Walsh\u00a0<\/strong>premieres Sunday, May 4 at 8pm ET\/PT on CNN and CNN International.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a remote corner where the protected indigenous lands of Brazil meet the volatile borderlands of Peru, Paton Walsh embeds with a group of activists as they introduce\u00a0space-based internet via Elon Musk\u2019s Starlink satellite dishes to the indigenous Kanamari community for the first time. The full force of a technology that over decades has transformed every part of Western life is suddenly unleashed on this village \u2013 with all the benefits and dangers that come along with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe were taken aback by how fast these communities realized the damaging nature of the internet on their lives,\u201d said Paton Walsh. \u201cYes, the jump from their time-honored ways to an online world was huge. But they wasted no time in realizing there had to be an off button to keep their kids safe \u2013 something the urban world doesn\u2019t really see yet. It was a remarkable learning experience. I am old enough to remember a world without cellphones, and seeing that sense of calm \u2013 the ability to be still and disconnected again \u2013 really hammers home how much our lives have been accelerated and invaded by a technology we now all depend on for nearly everything.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Paton Walsh watches the\u00a0transformative effect on village life as the young\u00a0quickly take to WhatsApp, Facebook and especially a Chinese Tiktok-like app called Kwai, he also bears witness as the elder community members try to control the internet\u2019s seductive grasp on its youth\u00a0by switching it off. Paton Walsh also observes the benefits of\u00a0being\u00a0online,\u00a0as they can\u00a0report illegal fishermen who poach on their protected lake, prohibited loggers and miners. The team also fly over gold miners as they ravage the rainforest, leaving a trail of devastation in which little natural can survive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
