Through her child’s eyes, Patpro will go through three periods of the history of her indigenous people, in the heart of the Brazilian forest. Tirelessly persecuted, but guided by their ancestral rites, their love of nature and their fight to preserve their freedom, the Krahô never stop inventing new forms of resistance.

Guy Lodge Variety 07/01/2023
Blending candid vérité with extravagant flourishes of fiction, the film sees its helmers sharing screenwriting duties with a trio of Krahô locals, and feels more textured for their collaboration. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter 05/30/2023

4/5
While made with rigor, respect, commitment, and sensitivity, the film never bores or tries to push an agenda. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Carlos Esquives Cinencuentro 08/11/2023

The entire film is unusual, for both the method in which it’s told, the setting in which it takes place, and its unremitting concern for indigenous issues and the gentle assertion that their rights are paramount. Go to Full Review Elena Lazic Cineuropa 05/24/2023
The film’s strength is such that it eventually becomes impossible not to look at this beautiful place without feeling a real sense of urgency and alarm. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
