Konãgxeka: O Dilúvio Maxakali

About this title

Konãgxeka, in the Maxakali indigenous language, means "big water" - It is the Maxakali version of the flood story, sent by the yãmîy spirits as a punishment for the selfishness and greed of men. The illustrations for the film were made during a workshop held at Aldeia Verde Maxakali, in the municipality of Ladainha, Minas Gerais.
