Davi Kopenawa: Against The Society Of Junk [ENG]

Davi Kopenawa Yanomami (Yanomami Indigenous People, Brazil) is a shaman, a leader, and a scientist. Davi has crossed multiple rivers many times to question what he calls the “people of the merchandise” and their desire to exploit and possess human and more-than-human life. Davi, in this episode, delves into his ancestral knowledge to present his critique of a society obsessed with material objects, with trinkets. At the same time, Davi shares how the Yanomami people talk with nature, the being that does not lie.
