Leonardo DiCaprio co-produced the latest documentary from director Richard Ladkani<\/p>\n
\n\tThe powerful new trailer for upcoming documentary Yanuni<\/em> has arrived. Directed by Richard Ladkani, the film follows Indigenous chief Juma Xipaia.<\/p>\n \n\tThe tense, cinematic trailer explores Xipaia\u2019s fight for both Indigenous rights as well as climate justice. Xipaia was appointed Brazil\u2019s first Secretary of Indigenous Rights and is married to a federal IBAMA agent with the Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources, who leads operations against illegal gold miners. Xipaia herself is at the frontlines of the battle to preserve the Amazon, all while facing multiple assassination attempts as well as impending motherhood.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \n\tLeonardo DiCaprio is one of the film\u2019s producers. The film initially premiered this past June at Tribeca Film Festival to rave reviews. There is no release date attached to the film, though it is already gaining plenty of Oscar buzz.<\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n \n\tLadkani\u2019s next project will be the film Just Me, Jane<\/em>, a documentary on the late Jane Goodall that is expected to be released in 2026. The legendary activist had been a mentor to Ladkani and the director spent three years with her working on the film. She had been instrumental in the making of Yanuni<\/em>, according to a statement from Ladkani.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cHer spirit lives in everything I create, from\u00a0Yanuni<\/em>\u00a0to the legacy film I\u2019m now making in her honor,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s my way of saying thank you \u2014 and ensuring her voice continues to inspire generations to come.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Leonardo DiCaprio co-produced the latest documentary from director Richard Ladkani The powerful new trailer for upcoming documentary Yanuni has arrived.
