"A shaman and leading figure of the Yanomami indigenous people, Davi Kopenawa rose to fame through his book The Falling Sky, written in collaboration with the French anthropologist Bruce Albert. In it, he recounts—through his own dramatic personal history—the devastating advance of white settlers into the forest, and his travels abroad to defend his people. Based on this exceptional account, the documentary is at once the story of an extraordinary life, a vibrant shamanic manifesto and a cry of alarm in the face of the global ecological crisis, viewed from the heart of the Amazon."

Discussion with Willy Delvalle (Chair of Geopolitics of Risk, École Normale Supérieure – Paris Sciences et Lettres).
