Vípuxovoku – Aldeia

Vípuxovoku – Aldeia (2025)

In an urban village surrounded by the concrete of Campo Grande (MS), Ailton, an Indigenous man of the Terena people, raises his voice against erasure. A leader in his community, he resists the State’s attempts to turn the village into a mere housing development, as well as the churches' efforts to suppress ancestral spirituality and knowledge. Starring non-professional Indigenous actors and inspired by real events lived by the protagonist, the short film reveals the daily life of struggle, faith, and belonging in the urban villages of Mato Grosso do Sul.
