Holding Up The Sky
By Pieter Van Eecke
The tropical rainforest is disappearing, the Earth is warming up and gold miners are polluting rivers. When Brazilian president Bolsonaro announces that industries can settle in the Amazon onYanomami territory, Davi Kopenawa and his son Dario take their fight to an international level to defend their land against the invaders. A poetic and alarming story about deforestation and the fight against global warming, accompanied by sumptuous images.
