Documentary about Indigenous peoples' profound connection to nature and the struggle against deforestation, a grave threat to their way of life.
In collaboration with Brazil's Indigenous Yanomami people, THE FALLING SKY follows the Yanomami leader and shaman Davi Kopenawa as he fights to return the world to balance in closely observed rituals and trenchant comments on the ruthless logic of a materialistic outside culture. Illegal logging, gold mining, and the deadly mix of epidemics these intrusions spread threaten the existence of the Yanomami.
Based on an acute understanding of geopolitical forces, Davi Kopenawa holds up a mirror to capitalist societies of 'the merchandise people' and the unsustainable lifestyle of the so-called 'developed countries' that threaten the survival of humanity.
