In the middle of an environmental and humanitarian catastrophe, a young poet raps in the forest.

My Blood Is Red is a music documentary with a very dark heart. It follows the fortunes of a young indigenous rapper as he tries to make sense of the violence being meted out against his people. His name is Werá, and his lyrics are fueled by the anger and sadness he feels, confronted by the state-condoned genocide of the disenfranchised indigenous people of Brazil. On his journey, he is adopted by Criolo–one of Brazil’s most famous music artists and godfather of Brazilian hip-hop. He’s also comforted and counselled by Sonia Guajajara, the internationally recognized indigenous leader and charismatic figurehead of the indigenous struggle.
