Davi Kopenawa has been fighting the exploitation of his people's land since the 1970s. While their territory seemed to be protected since the 1990s, the habitat of the Amazonian tribes is now threatened more than ever. Holding Up the Sky takes us alongside this ambassador, into the skies and the forest that protect his people, and to the places that threaten them.
