Directed by Richard Ladkani, Yanuni tells the story of Juma Xipaia, an Indigenous leader from the Brazilian Amazon who rises from village life to become Brazil’s first Secretary of Articulation and Promotion of Indigenous Rights in the Ministry of Indigenous Peoples. As Vice President of the Juma Institute, she continues to advocate for Indigenous sovereignty and environmental protection. Alongside her husband, Hugo Loss, an environmental enforcement officer, Juma leads high-risk efforts to combat illegal mining and deforestation—while balancing family, leadership, and survival in one of the world’s most endangered regions.
