Yarang Mamin

Synopsis

Indigenous filmmaker Kamatxi Ikpeng documents the story of a group of Ikpeng women who formed a movement to collect forest seeds and restore the banks of the Xingu River.

The Yarang Women’s Movement from the Indigenous Territory of Xingu (Mato Grosso, Brazil) is made up of mothers, daughters, grandmothers and granddaughters who have, over the course of a decade, collected 3.2 tons of seeds, and have helped plant about 1 million trees that will form the forests of the future.
