Ailton Krenak

Davi Kopenawa, a Yanomami shaman and one of Brazil’s leading Indigenous voices, confronts the threat of large mining companies encroaching on his Amazon territory. We follow him on a journey to Brumadinho, where he encounters the aftermath of the Brumadinho dam disaster. Between the earthly and the spiritual realms, his path intersects with the maxita watimapë—the “earth eaters” — and leads him to reunite with his longtime ally Ailton Krenak.

DESCARTE is a documentary by Leonardo Brant about the social drama of garbage, presented based on inspiring stories from artists, designers, artisans and activists who creatively and sensitively reuse objects. With the technology available in the world today, it is already possible to live without generating waste. DESCARTE is a call for this cultural change. It encompasses educational action and a series of contents created to stimulate the search for more sustainable paths for the planet's solid waste.

In the documentary "Pisar Suavemente na Terra," three Indigenous leaders from the Amazon try to keep their ways of being in the world alive. This is the story of Kátia, chief of the Akrãtikatêjê people, of Manuel, chief of the Munduruku people and of José Manuyama, a teacher of Kokama origin. The three narrate the threats to their territories promoted by large-scale mining, monoculture, oil extraction, logging and the construction of hydroelectric plants. Interconnected by the voice and ancestral thoughts of Ailton Krenak, these accounts of resistance present us with other ways of existing and walking in the world.

Adapted from the novel of the same name by writer José de Alencar, "O Guarani" tells a love story, in which young Cecília, daughter of a Portuguese nobleman, falls in love with Peri, an indigenous man of the Guarani ethnic group. For the two almost teenagers – Cecília is 16 years old and Peri is 18 years old –, it is the discovery of love in a pure form, which begins with friendship and transforms in a breathtaking way, defying the couple's ethnic and cultural differences. The opera also features in its story the dispute between the Aimoré and Guarani tribes. It also shows Spain's economic interest in the Portuguese colony in the figure of the adventurer Gonzales who, although interested in Cecília, has as his main objective to dominate everyone in order to explore indigenous lands.

In 2019, a new government stepped into Brasília promoting the dismantling of rights and encouraging the occupation of indigenous territories by gold miners and agribusiness. This film shows the strength of indigenous mobilizations, as they quickly rose up, with the collective body of the native peoples transforming mourning into a struggle, resisting together to strengthen their traditions and ways of existence.

This documentary series details how Brazil was shaped by centuries of armed conflict, from the first conquerors to today's violence.
