The documentary "Raoni" (1978) follows the journey of Raoni Metuktire, a chief of the Kayapo people, as he travels to the United States to raise awareness and funds for the preservation of the Amazon rainforest and the rights of indigenous tribes. Accompanied by anthropologist Jean-Pierre Dutilleux and with the support of Marlon Brando, Raoni endeavors to connect with global audiences and rally international aid against the encroaching deforestation and exploitation of his ancestral lands. The film captures his compelling plea for environmental protection and cultural survival.
