In collaboration with Brazil’s indigenous Yanomami people, THE FALLING
SKY follows the Yanomami leader and shaman Davi Kopenawa as he fights
to return the world to balance in closely observed rituals and trenchant
comments on the ruthless logic of a materialistic outside culture. Illegal
logging, gold mining, and the deadly mix of epidemics these intrusions spread
threaten the existence of the Yanomami. Based on an acute understanding
of geopolitical forces, Davi Kopenawa holds up a mirror to capitalist societies
of “the merchandise people” and the unsustainable lifestyle of the so-called
“developed countries” that threatens the survival of humanity as a whole.
