My Foreign Land

My Foreign Land (2025) blends Documentary elements. Top cast includes Txai Suruí, Almir Narayamoga Surui, and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The narrative builds around escalating stakes, urgent decisions, and action-driven momentum.

Actor: Txai Suruí

For the Suruí, an indigenous people in western Brazil, there was a lot at stake in the 2022 presidential elections. Under incumbent President Bolsonaro, logging and mining companies were given free rein in their territory. His opponent Lula, on the other hand, pledged to protect the Amazon and uphold Indigenous rights. Tribal leader Almir and his daughter, the young activist Txai Suruí, are each followed during their campaign in the final month before the elections. While Txai travels abroad to raise awareness about the destruction of the rainforest, Almir campaigns across the state of Rondônia, seeking support for his congressional bid.
