Curupira is a vibrant short documentary that intertwines Amazonian mythology with ecological urgency. Filmed in Brazil’s Tapajós River region, it follows a local forest guardian named Raimundo as he invokes the spirit of Curupira—protector of the forest—to resist deforestation and environmental degradation. Through ritual, storytelling, and activism, the film reveals how Indigenous cosmologies are used not only for cultural preservation but also as tools for environmental justice.
