About Yai Wanonabälewä: The Enemy God
Shake is a powerful shaman of the Yanomamö people. He wields his power to heal and to protect his people against their enemies in this world and beyond. Tracing his life and the life of his community over 40 years of their history, Shake tells how he and his people grapple with new ideas that come from the outside world and the challenging decisions they make in order to maintain their identity and survive as a people.
A viewer who recently attended a sneak-preview of the film said “Your storytelling from the Yanomamö perspective, is very valuable and beautiful.”
Yai Wanonabälewä: The Enemy God gives voice to a group of indigenous people to relate their own dramatic story. It is the result of a collaboration of storytellers and filmmakers from Venezuela, Belize, Canada, and the United States.
