At 103, Amazonian shaman Tatá Yawanawá revived his tribe's spirituality after near extinction. "The Spirit of Tatá" follows his final days, sharing sacred wisdom and urging us to save Indigenous cultures before they're lost forever. At 103 years old, Tatá Yawanawá-one of the oldest shamans in the Amazon rainforest-was responsible for safeguarding his tribe's spiritual legacy through the difficult years of colonization. Decades of interference by rubber tappers and missionaries brought the tribe to near extinction in the mid-1980s. When they made the decision to expel the missionaries, it was Tatá who led a revival of their cultural and spiritual practices-finally able to teach what he had kept secret in his heart all those years. "The Spirit Of Tatá" follows Tatá's final days-a historic and challenging moment for the tribe as they face losing their beloved elder and greatest living library of spiritual knowledge. As his family and students keep vigil, we see Tatá continuing to share his teachings from his deathbed, hoping to ensure the transfer of knowledge to the next generation. This story is emblematic of what is happening worldwide-Indigenous cultures losing their elders while struggling to recover and revive their ancient languages and traditions before they disappear. The film aims to wake up modern audiences to the inherent and vital need to preserve, protect, and support Indigenous peoples and their knowledge. We invite you into a world of timelessness and beauty where the power of life is held in the plants, creatures, children, and elders-a world in danger of being lost forever. —The SOFIE Foundation
