"I-Juca Pirama" weaves a dialogue between two eras to shed light on the enduring

violence against Brazil's indigenous peoples.

Deep in the Amazon rainforest, I-Juca Pirama, a young warrior captured by an enemy tribe, is destined for ritual sacrifice. But when he reveals to the chief his grief at leaving his father behind, the chief,moved by his words, spares his life.
