Founded in 1977, the Cleveland International Film Festival (CIFF) is a leading cultural institution dedicated to showcasing the power of film to educate, entertain, and celebrate inclusive human
experiences. For 50 years, CIFF has curated socially conscious and artistically significant films fromaround the globe, fostering dialogue, connection, and cultural understanding.
This year the InterReligious Force is honored to be prsented as a community partner for the CIFF50 screening of the film Yanuni:
YANUNI is a cinematic portrait of Juma Xipaia, an Indigenous chief from the Brazilian Amazon who rises from a remote village to the frontlines of climate justice. After surviving six assassination attempts, she is appointed Brazil’s first Secretary of Indigenous Rights—while her husband, a federal IBAMA agent, leads dangerous operations against illegal gold miners. As Juma navigates political power, growing threats, and impending motherhood, she is forced to confront the personal cost of resistance. At once intimate and epic, YANUNI is a powerful story of Indigenous sovereignty, love, and the urgent fight to protect the planet we call home.
