The Krahô are the indigenous people of Northern Brazil. In The Buriti Flower, directors João Salaviza and Renée Nader Messora present four tales, cinematic representations of the Krahô’s oral histories, detailing tragic events from this people's history.

Salaviza and Nader Messora immersed themselves in the lives of the Krahô, and captured, in the Krahô’s own unique, non-linear way, the tales of the injustices handed down through the years. From massacres against the Krahôs by settlers, the military dictatorship in the 1960s, to Bolsanaro’s disregard of their rights.

“[I]t eventually becomes impossible not to look at this beautiful place without feeling a real sense of urgency and alarm.” –Elena Lazic, Cineuropa
