Elizabeth Weitzman TheWrap The result is an inspiring portrait of two undeniably remarkable environmental advocates. Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix Occasionally unfocused but always compelling to watch, Yanuni is a laudatory documentary about Brazilian environmental activist Juma Xipaia. Her story is an example of fearlessness and tenacity in the face of various obstacles. Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Josh Parham Next Best Picture The war against insidious forces that thrive on exploitation has not ceased, but stories like this one are essential reminders of the brave soldiers who march on with victory in sight. Rated: 7/10 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Christopher Llewellyn Reed Hammer to Nail The result is an imperfect, but always engaging, study of the twin struggle for freedom and climate protection. Without the latter, there’s not much point to the former. And this holds true for us all. Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
