The film's storyline returns us to the trajectory of the period of slavery and oppression that sooner or later led to the loss of the indigenous tribes' own identity as indigenous peoples. The film focuses on their cultural and spiritual rebirth, shared and narrated from their own perspective.
The documentary is a journey into the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, offering insight into the lives of the Huni Kuin people (which translates to real people), their relationship with the rainforest and the overall magic of their culture and spirituality.
Audiences can look forward to a story of resistance and strength that literally rages from the Amazon into the wider world, and in the very times we live in.
