EXCLUSIVE: New York-based arthouse distributor KimStim has acquired North American rights to feature-doc The Falling Sky, about the threat to the existence of the Amazonian Yanomami people, ahead of its screening in DOC NYC next month.

The immersive and poetic film centers on iconic shaman Davi Kopenawa and the Yanomami community. It is based on the book of the same title by Kopenawa and French anthropologist Bruce Albert and is co-directed by Eryk Rocha & Gabriela Carneiro da Cunha.

Narrated by Kopenawa, the doc traces the preparations of his Indigenous community of Watorikɨ as it engages in a funeral rite known as the Reahu, which is a collective effort to hold up the sky and prevent it from falling.

This ceremony also galvanizes the community in its battle to defend their homeland from illegal gold mining. KimStim’s co-president Ian Stimler negotiated the deal with China-based international sales agent Rediance.
