Listen: The Land Was Torn

Original title: Escute: A Terra Foi Rasgada

2023 88 min Portuguese Fred Rahal, Cassandra Mello

Overview

Based on the universe of three indigenous peoples pressured by the destruction caused by mining, the film proposes an approach to the thought of the Yanomami, Munduruku and Mebêngôkre (Kayapó), in the formation of a historical alliance in defense of territories. It is, therefore, a narrative about resistance and resilience, in the figure of an unprecedented union that establishes the maintenance of their physical and subjective territories. Beyond the destruction caused by mining, this is a film about the impossibility of separation between indigenous existence and their territory.
