Xinã Bena - New Era offers a deeply intimate glimpse into the life of a Huni kuin village in São Joaquim. It's not just a documentary; it's like sitting in the circle of Augustinho, the village's Pajé, as he recounts the painful history of rubber plantation captivity intertwined with a celebration of resilience and cultural rebirth. The pacing is reflective, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere of the Jordão River and the lush surroundings. The performances, particularly Augustinho's, evoke a raw authenticity that pulls you in.
