This video contains images of children being buried alive, carried out by indigenous tribes who believe it is necessary in order to rid their community of evil spirits.

The ritual killing of helpless children is currently allowed by the Brazilian government out of concern for the traditional customs of the tribes.

Please note, this film is very distressing.  User discretion is strongly advised.  Really, I'm not joking.
