Anamei

(Anamei)
Alessandro Galassi | Documentary

2020 | 65 minutes | Peru, Italy

Anamei underscores the beauty of the Amazon and the Harakbut people's Tree of Life, and the need to preserve their traditions, languages, and wisdom.

Synopsis

Anamei underscores not only the breathtaking beauty of the Amazon and its people but also the urgent need to preserve traditions, languages, and ancestral wisdom.

Weaving together the ancient myth of Anamei, the tree of salvation for the Harakbut indigenous people of the Peruvian Amazon, with the contemporary struggle against exploitation, Anamei is a visual poem.

For centuries, the Harakbut have sought refuge in Anamei's legend, finding resilience against historical and modern conquerors of their land, from rubber barons to today's illegal gold miners. Despite the ravages inflicted upon their homeland, the guardians of the forest continue to heal both the natural environment and their community wounds.

Anamei emerges as more than a tree of life; it embodies a prophecy of hope, shared globally by Pope Francis during the Amazon Synod, advocating for healing and restoration, both for the planet and humanity itself.
