Yanuni is a poignant portrait of courage, resistance and love, right in the heart of the Amazon. Indigenous leader Juma Xipaia has survived six assassination attempts thanks to her relentless struggle to protect her people’s lands from exploitation and destruction. At her side is her husband, Hugo Loss, a former Special Forces ranger turned staunch ally. When Juma discovers she’s pregnant, the couple’s struggle takes on an even greater urgency, transforming a struggle for survival into a fight for the future of their child and their community. Intimate and strikingly cinematic, Yanuni presents a powerful love story forged in resistance, and a vibrant call to protect the Amazon before it’s too late.
