Director Statement

The movie shows that the posture of indigenous Diriti by doing the Ritchoko, a typical doll, has a fundamental social capital for the development of individual life seeking their own economic subsistence insofar as this posture also changes the very collective by transmitting knowledge that keeps the culture preserved. Thus, the making of the doll can be identified as a possibility of maintaining the culture of the Karajá people together with the subsistence of women always in a logic of seeking recognition while dispensing with redistribution.
