The Story
Wayumi follows a son’s raw and tender journey to reconnect with his Indigenous mother, who left him as a child to return to her tribe in the Amazon. As an adult, he seeks to rebuild their bond, navigating not only the vast distance between their worlds but the complex hurdles of bringing her to the US.
"The heart of the film lies in the tender relationship between mother and son." — Murtada Elfadl, DOC NYC
