Yanuni

Join us for a special Miami Climate Week screening of Yanuni, the 2026 Oscar shortlisted documentary about an Indigenous couple on the frontlines of the fight for the Amazon rainforest.

Yanuni follows the extraordinary journey of Juma Xipaia, an Indigenous chief from the Brazilian Amazon, as she rises from a remote village in Xipaya territory to the political frontlines. A fearless defender of her people and the rainforest, Juma has survived six assassination attempts while confronting illegal gold miners, land-grabbers, and multinational corporations threatening her ancestral land. At her side is Hugo Loss, her husband and the head of Special Operations at IBAMA, Brazil’s environmental protection agency. Hugo leads dangerous operations to dismantle illegal mining camps deep in the Amazon—often under armed threat in thrilling scenes that must be seen to be believed.

Yanuni was Tribeca’s 2025 Closing Night film and is Executive Produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. The film has appeared in prestigious film festivals all across the world, but does not yet have US distribution so this is your best chance to see it on the big screen.
