Fishing with Timbó 2023

An eye-opening he said/she said perspective on timbó fishing, a traditional practice of the Indigenous Yanomami people that involves the entire community and a vine used to stun fish, seamlessly blends preservation documentary, origin myth, magic realism and the reality of mining and economic threats to Yanomami culture in this formally inventive reclamation.
