Crowrã – The Buriti Flower

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.

Press voices

«João Salaviza und Renee Nader Messora haben einen Film geschaffen, der eine indigene Gemeinschaft in Brasilien ebenso direkt porträtiert wie er die Bedeutung der Erinnerung in ihrem Widerstandskampf hervorhebt.» Cineuropa

«Die Mischung aus Drama und Dokumentarfilm lässt uns in das Leben von Menschen eintauchen, die seit jeher in ihrer Existenz bedroht sind.» Screen Daily

«Der Film verwebt fiktionale und reale Elemente auf eine manchmal fliessende, manchmal inszenierte Weise und bleibt immer faszinierend.» The Hollywood Reporter
