REPRESENT Film Series: Uýra - The Rising Forest

The Gender & Sexuality Student Resource Center hosts REPRESENT - a monthly film and discussion series exploring powerful experiences and perspectives often not represented in mainstream media. Each film is selected for it's unique look into the intersections of gender, sexuality, culture, identity, and experience.
In celebration of Indigenous Heritage Month, we will be showing Uýra - The Rising Forest.
About: Uýra shares ancestral knowledge with Indigenous youth in the Amazon to promote the significance of identity and place, threatened by Brazil's oppressive political regime. Through dance, poetry, and stunning characterization, Uýra confronts historical racism, transphobia, and environmental destruction, while emphasizing the interdependence of humans and the environment.
This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov).
