Overview

At the top of Serra do Padeiro (BA), the Tupinambá people resist invasions, reaffirming their original right to the territory. Leaders such as Dona Maria da Glória and the shaman Seu Lírio guide a daily life of care for the forest, rituals, and spiritual strength. The film is an intimate and political testimony of a continuous process of reclaiming and affirming the traditional existence of the Tupinambá people of Serra do Padeiro.
