The Falling Sky. 2024. Brazil/Italy. Directed by Eryk Rocha, Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha. In Portuguese; English subtitles. 110 min.

“The Falling Sky, directed by Eryk Rocha and Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha, is an immersive and poetic film centered on iconic shaman Davi Kopenawa and the Yanomami community of Watoriki in the Brazilian rainforest. Based on the book co-authored by Davi Kopenawa and anthropologist Bruce Albert, the film invites us to participate in the sacred ritual of Reahu, and challenges all of us existing in a capitalist system (“the People of Merchandise”) who exploit nature for financial gain to rebel against the damage wrought by the industrial world on the Amazon rainforest” (Ruth Somalo, DOC NYC program notes).

This film accompanies MoMA Presents: The Falling Sky.
