Yanuni

Yanuni, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio, is a pulse-pounding eco-thriller rooted in urgent real-world stakes.

The film follows Juma Xipaia, the first female Indigenous chief of her people, as she stands on the front lines of the fight to protect the Amazon rainforest from illegal miners and environmental devastation. With extraordinary access, the documentary captures Juma’s courage as she confronts powerful criminal networks, political indifference, and escalating threats to her community. Yet beyond the danger lies a deeply personal story of leadership, motherhood, and cultural survival. Sweeping aerial cinematography reveals both the breathtaking beauty of the Amazon and the scars of destruction carved into it.

Riveting, cinematic, and profoundly inspiring, Yanuni is a testament to one woman’s fearless stand to defend her land—and our planet’s future.
