Munduruku Women Play Football in the Amazon (International Version)

In Sawré Muybu village, football is a very important activity for the Munduruku women. In this short video Marunha Kirixi, the best soccer player in the village, shares her love for the game and her worries around the dams project plans. The Munduruku people have inhabited the Sawré Muybu Indigenous Land in the heart of the Amazon, for generations. The Brazilian government plans to build a series of dams in the Tapajós River basin, which would severely threaten their way of life and the fragile biome of the Amazon, where rivers are fundamental to fauna and the survival of local flora.
