In the country that most kills environmentalists, indigenous and trans people, Uyra is a body that Brazil insists on exterminating. As a drag queen indigenous educator, her existence and resistance foster a grassroots revolution that fights for the education of the native youth and for the preservation of the environment in the heart of the Amazon Forest.
