An American magazine operating from France releases its final issue, assembling narratives that reflect the nation’s unrest: a once-celebrated artist now serving a life sentence, student uprisings that spill into the streets, and a high-stakes kidnapping that is unexpectedly resolved by the ingenuity of a chef. As the editorial team closes this chapter, the magazine’s last pages trace the fractures and surprising solidarities of a country in turmoil.

2008 · Fernando Meirelles

a man whose life has been dictated by circumstance fights to seize his own destiny; a police officer is unsettled when his wife—long presumed lost at sea—returns bearing the quiet, uncanny traces of someone transformed; and a determined woman searches relentlessly for a particular individual reputed to possess a rare gift, a figure prophesied to become a powerful spiritual leader. Their separate quests—for control, for recognition of what is real, and for a future shaped by faith—unfold in parallel, colliding at unexpected moments. Together they probe the limits of choice, the price of survival, and the strange alchemy that turns loss into authority.

With Julianne Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Alice Braga, Yûsuke Iseya, Yoshino Kimura, Don McKellar and Maury Chaykin

Although they were guaranteed control of their rainforest lands, illegal logging and mining have repeatedly invaded their territory, and recent waves of land-grabbing — encouraged by right-wing leaders such as President Jair Bolsonaro — have intensified the assaults. As deforestation surges, the crisis transcends the tribe’s survival, threatening regional ecosystems and contributing to a planetary environmental emergency.

With Neidinha Bandeira, Bitaté Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau and Ari Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau
