If the shamans stop dancing and life in the rainforest loses its balance, the sky will fall, crushing everything beneath it. This wisdom is passed on in the Brazilian Amazon by generations of Yanomami. But gold-diggers pollute, shamans die, and the rainforest perishes. Davi Kopenawa has been fighting these threats for more than 40 years.
