Uýra, a trans indigenous artist, travels through the Amazon forest using performance art and ancestral messages to teach indigenous youth and confront structural racism and transphobia in Brazil, manifesting liberation through sharing history and nature drag. Alongside a community of queer Afro-Brazilians, they reinvent drag to bring the life-sustaining power of the forest to the urban spaces of Manaus. This prescient doc amplifies the queer and trans voices of colour at the center of the fight for climate justice.
