Ujirei - Regeneration

For Ayoreo peoples in the Gran Chaco of northern Paraguay, the terms of survival are by no means clear. In this unprecedented experimental film, Ayoreo elder Mateo Sobode visually explores present-day life on an evangelical mission. In doing so, the filmmaker creates a visionary cinematic reflection on how to affirm Ayoreo life in the face of dispossession and social upheaval. This film is one part of the four-part series Yocoredie: the Ayoreo Video Project.

Directed by Mateo Sobode Chiqueno
