UÝRA: THE RISING FOREST / UÝRA - A RETOMADA DA FLORESTA
A film by Juliana Curi
(Brazil/USA, 2022, 73 min. In Portuguese with English subtitles)

Uýra shares ancestral knowledge with Indigenous youth in the Amazon to promote the significance of identity and place, threatened by Brazil's oppressive political regime. Through dance, poetry, and stunning characterization, Uýra confronts historical racism, transphobia, and environmental destruction, while emphasizing the interdependence of humans and the environment.
