Coming Soon: The Song of the Butterflies
[link removed]
Rember Yahuarcani is an Indigenous painter and one of the last surviving members of the White Heron clan of the Uitoto Nation in Peru. He left to pursue a successful career in Lima, but when he finds himself in a creative rut, he returns home to his Amazonian community to visit his father, a painter, and his mother, a sculptor, and discovers why the stories of his ancestors cannot be forgotten. The Song of the Butterflies ([link removed]) makes its broadcast debut on Monday, August 30th at 10pm on PBS (check local listings ([link removed]) ) and streaming at pov.org.
