About
A Yanomami leader warns Westerners of a coming sky collapse as gold miners damage the rainforest and rivers.
Holding Up the Sky is a documentary about the Yanomami in Brazil. The film features Davi Kopenawa and Dário Vitório Kopenawa Yanomami. Yanomami wisdom, handed down through the generations, holds that if the shamans cease their dances and the rainforest loses its balance, the sky will come down and crush everything. Gold mining is fouling rivers, shamans are passing away, forest is being lost and temperatures are rising. Davi Kopenawa, a tribal leader and spokesman for the Yanomami, has spent forty years fighting the colonization of his land. He warns Westerners that a collapsing sky would crush them too.
