James Cameron has announced plans to make a 3D documentary about the Amazon's Xikrin-Kayapo tribe.



Speaking to newspaper the Folha de Sao Paulo, Cameron said that he is hoping to journey to Brazil to make a film about the indigenous tribe.

"I want to return to meet some of the leaders of the Xikrin-Kayapo tribe who invited me," the filmmaker said. "I want to take a 3D camera to film how they live, their culture."

The director has already visited the Amazon twice before and shot a film - to be included on the Avatar DVD in December - on the tribe's resistance to the damming project on the Xingu River.

The director said that he he made the film highlighting the dam construction after he was asked by "the Brazilian Indians, who were desperate, I could not turn away".
