The Lady with the Arrows (2024)
In her multi-layered documentary, Grimme Award winner and director Heidi Specogna unfolds a sensitive portrait of the life and work of renowned photographer Claudia Andujar. From her escape from the Holocaust to her deep connection with the Yanomami people in the Brazilian Amazon – the film takes us through formative childhood events, humanistic commitment to the rights of indigenous peoples and the fight to protect their habitat. The film team follows in the footsteps of Andujar's political and poetic photographs, explores the rainforest region, which is now more threatened than ever, and introduces a self-confident, young Yanomami generation who are making their voices heard among the population and in politics with self-made films.

Reviews
All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
