Uýra, a trans indigenous artist, travels through the Amazon on a journey of self- discovery using performance art to teach indigenous youth that they are the guardians of ancestral messages of the Amazon forest. In a country that kills the highest number of trans, indigenous, and environmentalist youth worldwide, Uýra leads a rising movement through arts and education while fostering unity and providing inspiration for the LGBTQIA+ and environmental movements in the heart of the Amazon Forest.
