    Powerful film

    What a powerful film! Yanuni is a visually rich and deeply personal documentary that follows an indigenous activist defending her home in the Amazon. Through poetic imagery and quiet resilience, it exposes the human cost of environmental destruction. The film balances beauty and urgency, showing that resistance is not only political but also spiritual - a fight to keep identity, memory, and land alive.

    Necessary!!

    Yanuni is one of those documentaries that sticks with you. It shows, in a real and simple way, the life, struggles and strength of forgotten communities. It's not just informative it moves, you makes you think and helps you see Brazil with more empathy. Definitely worth watching and reflecting on.

    You will leave renewed and it will certainly be good.

    Beautiful - and important!

    Besides being beautiful and moving, YANUNI is eye-opening! Even brazillians don't know half of the struggles adressed in the documentary. And we should!

    It's one thing to read an article about the plight of indigenous peoples and another to actually see it! It makes your blood boil and your heart break. "Our future is not for sale!" A must-watch!

    Beautiful intense documentary

    This movie is powerful, intense, important, beautiful and haunting. It makes the headlines you've read in the newspaper about Brazil deeply personal. But also makes you think in a much more global perspective. Unlike other documentaries I've seen. Juma and Hugo are a power couple, trying to change the world for the better on their playground, day by day. As should the rest of us.

    A movie which makes you think

    Yanuni manages to be a drama, an action-thriller, and a documentary all at once. Knowing that the scenes and visuals are real makes the experience even more captivating. The way it blends raw reality with cinematic tension keeps you fully absorbed from start to finish. If you haven't seen it yet, you should definitely check it out-it's absolutely worth your time.
