SYNOPSIS

Based on the powerful testimony of Yanomami shaman and leader Davi Kopenawa, the film "The Fall of the Sky" follows the important Reahu ritual, which mobilizes the Watorikɨ community in a collective effort to hold up the sky. The film offers a scathing shamanic critique of those Davi calls the "people of merchandise," as well as of illegal mining and the deadly mix of epidemics brought by outsiders that the Yanomami call "xawara" epidemics. It foregrounds the beauty of Yanomami cosmology, the xapiri spirits, and their geopolitical power that invites us to dream far.
