Yanuni – The Amazon is a Woman

YANUNI – THE AMAZON IS A WOMAN tells the story of Juma Xipaia, an Indigenous leader from the heart of the Amazon who rises from environmental activism into the highest political circles of Brazil: the world’s first Ministry of Indigenous Peoples. While her husband Hugo, an agent of Brazil’s environmental agency, dismantles illegal gold mines, Juma navigates the tensions between power, threat, and motherhood — taking great personal risks along the way.

Both intimate and epic, YANUNI – THE AMAZON IS A WOMAN unfolds a gripping story in stunning imagery about Indigenous sovereignty, love, and the urgent fight for our planet.
