Documentary on the Yanomami and the Amazon's fate.

The documentary film "A Queda Do Céu" screens at Kino Babylon as part of the Cinebrasil festival. It was directed by Eryk Rocha and Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha and features the Yanomami shaman and spokesperson Davi Kopenawa together with the community of Watorikɨ during the sacred Reahu ritual. Inspired by the book of the same name by Davi Kopenawa and Bruce Albert, the film follows the community and, starting from Yanomami cosmology, invites reflection on the relationship between indigenous peoples, spirituality, memory, territory and the preservation of the forest. Kopenawa's warning about the destruction of the Amazon gains cinematic and political force, inviting audiences to listen to other ways of knowing and to recognise the central importance of indigenous perspectives in tackling the climate crisis.
