NowStreaming on Fandango
(Los Angeles, CA) - In
this cinematic journey, Yanuni, an Indigenous leader fights to save the Amazon and it becomes a deeply personal battle-for her people, her family, and the future of a planet
on the brink.
Yanuni is a portrait of Juma
Xipaia, an Indigenous chief from the Brazilian Amazon who rises from a remote village to the frontlines of climate
justice.
After surviving six assassination attempts,
she is appointed Brazil's first Secretary of Indigenous Rights-while her husband, a federal IBAMA agent, leads dangerous operations
against illegal gold miners.
As Juma navigates
political power, growing threats, and impending motherhood, she is forced to confront the personal cost of resistance. At
once intimate and epic, YANUNI is a powerful story of Indigenous sovereignty, love, and the urgent fight to protect the planet
we call home.
Yanuni is directed by Richard Ladkani
and produced by Anita Ladkani, Ricahrd Ladkani, Juma Xipaia, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Davisson and Phillip Watson.
Executive producers include Joanna Natasegara, Laura Nix, Eric Terena,
Dax Dasilva, Martin Choroba, and Philipp Schall.
