Film Screening: Yanuni
This powerful film follows the life and activism of Juma Xipaia, an extraordinary Indigenous leader from the Brazilian Amazon whose activism against illegal mining, land-grabbing, and corporate exploitation caused her to endure multiple assassination attempts but ultimately took her from her remote community in the rainforest to becoming Brazil’s first Secretary of Articulation and Promotion of Indigenous Rights.
Directed by Richard Ladkani, produced in association with Malaika Pictures and Leonardo DiCaprio.
