Documentary Yanuni Closes the Tribeca Festival
Yanuni is a cinematic 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.
The documentary from producer Leonardo DiCaprio and director Richard Ladkani closed the 24th annual Tribeca Festival at the OKX Theater at BMCC TPAC in New York City Saturday evening.
