The documentary Sateré-Mawé: Frontiers of Resistance emerges from a collaborative process grounded in the voices and lived experiences of the Sateré-Mawé people. Rather than speaking about them, the film creates space for self-representation, amplifying Indigenous perspectives that have historically been marginalized, silenced, or misrepresented.
Through testimonies and everyday narratives, the documentary reveals the complexities of their realities, struggles, and aspirations, framing resistance as a continuous practice of care, cultural preservation, and knowledge transmission. In doing so, it resonates with the ethical and ecological concerns articulated in Laudato Si’—particularly in its emphasis on interconnectedness and responsibility toward collective life—while remaining firmly rooted in Indigenous epistemologies.
The documentary brings these voices to the forefront, and the film contributes to broader dialogues on plurality, decoloniality, and the construction of more inclusive and equitable futures.
