    • Synopsis
    • Based on the homonymous book by shaman and Yanomami leader Davi Kopenawa and French anthropologist Bruce Albert, THE FALLING SKY portrays the indigenous community of Watorikɨ as it engages in a vital funeral rite known as the reahu—a collective effort to hold up the sky and prevent it from falling. The film stands as a trenchant shamanic critique of the destruction of the Yanomami’s way of life caused by the intrusions of the napë, the white prospectors and the so-called civilized world into the Yanomami territory. The spellbinding images, meticulous sound design, and powerful words of Davi Kopenawa tap into the beauty of Yanomami cosmology and its xapiri spirits while also highlighting the geopolitical importance of the Yanomami knowledge.
