THE BURITI FLOWER | CROWRÃ
Pressing film about the Krahô people of Brazil, fighting for their existence and that of the Amazon, which was rightfully awarded at Cannes for the way it was made in close collaboration with its ensemble of non-actors. A lyrical blend of documentary and fiction, culminating in massive Indigenous demonstrations in Brasília. It fuses past and present, systemic expulsion and defiance.
