The Xukuru Story is a scenic visual narrative which immerses virtual travelers in a rustic Brazilian landscape as they learn how indigenous communities must fight against pervasive commercial interests for their rights, land, and livelihood. Digital installations include a vibrant music video of The Tore – a sacred cultural celebration – visually documented for the very first time. 

​

This genre of digital storytelling combines interactive media with long-form journalism to create a unique immersive experience. The collective quest for viewers includes contemplation and the data harvesting of solutions for indigenous social and environmental challenges.
