“I grew up with this feeling that Brazil is a place of epistemicide, which is the killing of knowledge. I think the most important thing in Uýra's message for me is that we are all connected by one cause, which is the preservation of life, and how the forest connects us all.” - Juliana Curi, Filmmaker
