The Buriti Flower

2023

Francisco Hyjno Kraho, Ilda Patpro Kraho, Luzia Cruwakwyj Kraho, Solane Tehtikwyj Kraho ...

Drama Through her child’s eyes, Patpro will go through three periods of the history of her indigenous people, in the heart of the Brazilian forest. Tirelessly persecuted, but guided by their ancestral rites, their love of nature and their fight to preserve their freedom, the Krahô never stop inventing new forms of resistance.

		Allan Hunter Screendaily	"Blending elements of documentary and drama, it immerses us in the lives of a people constantly facing threats to their existence"
		Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"The movie, which combines nonfiction and fiction in ways that are sometimes seamless, sometimes clearly delineated, and always riveting"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"A striking hybrid documentary"
