Directors and producers of the film The Falling Sky (A Queda do Céu), a work freely inspired by the book of the same name by the shaman Davi Kopenawa Yanomami and the French anthropologist Bruce Albert. The focus of the feature film, still in the editing stage, is the third part of the book, in which the shaman takes the anthropologist’s place and shares what he thinks about non-Indigenous people and their society.
The recorded words of Davi Kopenawa and Salomé Yanomami come across as a diagnosis, a warning, and an invitation: for us to turn our attention to the diseases that are brought in and created by a predatory relationship with nature, and to another possible way of living.
