Uýra – The Rising Forest

Season 36 Episode 3609

Uýra is a trans-indigenous artist on a journey of self-discovery in the Amazon forest.

While traveling through the Amazon, Uýra shares ancestral knowledge with Indigenous youth to promote the significance of identity and place, threatened by Brazil's oppressive political regime. Through dance, poetry, and stunning characterization, Uýra boldly confronts historical racism, transphobia, and environmental destruction, while emphasizing the interdependence of humans and the environment.
