Arquivo / 49th mostra

A portrait of Juma Xipaia, an Indigenous chief from the Brazilian Amazon who rises from a remote village to the frontlines of climate justice. After surviving six assassination attempts, she is appointed Brazil’s first Secretary of Indigenous Rights — while her husband, a federal Ibama agent, leads dangerous operations against illegal gold miners. As Juma navigates political power, growing threats, and impending motherhood, she is forced to confront the personal cost of resistance. A powerful story of Indigenous sovereignty, love, and the urgent fight to protect the planet we call home.
