The spirits just understand our language

Although this is a difficult subject, the younger ones decide to narrate their version of this long story in images and words. of relations with non-indigenous people, talking about their pains, challenges and desires. Despite all the difficulties in the current context, the struggle and hope echo in several dimensions of the short film, indicating that “the Manoki language will live!”
