POV: Uýra: The Rising Forest
Premieres Monday, Sept. 25, 2023 at 11 p.m. on KPBS TV / PBS App. While traveling through the Amazon, Uýra shares ancestral knowledge with Indigenous youth to promote the significance of identity and place, threatened by Brazil's oppressive political regime. Through dance, poetry, and stunning characterization, Uyra boldly confronts historical racism, transphobia, and environmental destruction, while emphasizing the interdependence of humans and the environment.
