A powerful documentary, Kunha Karai and The Earth Narratives weaves together the personal narratives and collective struggles of Brazilian Indigenous women, highlighting their role as leaders in both their communities and broader social movements. Through a tapestry of memories, dreams, oral traditions, and Amerindian cosmologies, director Paola Mallmann explores how processes of healing and resistance are deeply rooted in ancestral knowledge and territorial belonging.
Centered on Indigenous female protagonism, the film showcases how women are reshaping political discourse through collective action in defense of their rights and the environment. Their stories offer a vital perspective in global conversations on climate change, decolonial feminism, and the interconnection between land, identity, and justice in Brazil.
