Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha & Eryk Rocha’s 2024 documentary about Indigenous peoples’ profound connection to nature and the struggle against deforestation, a grave threat to their way of life and the ecosystem they call home.
In collaboration with Brazil’s Indigenous Yanomami people, THE FALLING SKY follows the Yanomami leader and shaman Davi Kopenawa as he fights to return the world to balance in closely observed rituals and trenchant comments on the ruthless logic of a materialistic outside culture. Illegal logging, gold mining, and the deadly mix of epidemics these intrusions spread threaten the existence of the Yanomami.
Based on an acute understanding of geopolitical forces, Davi Kopenawa holds up a mirror to capitalist societies of “the merchandise people” and the unsustainable lifestyle of the so-called “developed countries” that threaten the survival of humanity.
Fresh from theatrical release sponsored by the Museum of Modern Art.
Received a standing ovation at its World Premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.
Winner: DOC NYC 2024 Grand Jury Prize.
