EAMI

Paz ENCINA 2022 Paraguay, Germany, Argentina, Netherlands, France, USA, Mexico color 85min Ayoreo DCP
Eami lost her own kind during an invasion. The Asojá, the bird-god-woman of the native culture, flies and brings the memories of the past, present and the future. Today, the Asojá is Eami. She must leave while wondering about death and life. EAMI is a story of the Ayoreo Totobiegosode people who suffer from forced displacement and severe deforestation. In-between the mythical and the real, it shows the eternal love for the land and its people.
