Stepping Softly on the Earth

Three indigenous leaderships from Amazonia try to keep alive their traditional cultures and manners. These are the stories of Katia, a leader of the Akrãtikatêjê tribe, Manuel, a leader of the Munduruku tribe, and José Manuyama, a teacher of Kokama origin. The trio narrates the threats to their territories promoted by big mining companies, by monoculture, by the extraction of wood and by the construction of hydroelectric power plants. Interconnected by the voice and the ancestral philosophy of Ailton Krenak, these stories of resistance present us other ways of existing and walking on the Earth. (São Paulo IFF)
