The Guarani Indians live in the southwest part of Brazil, near the border with Paraguay. In five years, more than 150 of them have taken their own lives. Each year the numbers seems to be rising - and the age of the victims is falling. The suicides are the result of a complex mix of historical, social and political factors.
