Oscars 2025: Shaman’s Ritual Blesses "I'm Still Here" - Gets Spiritual Support Before the Big Night
In the heart of the Amazon, shaman A-ya Kukamiria performs a sacred Indigenous ritual to bless both the actor and the character of the Oscar-nominated Brazilian film Ainda Estou Aqui (I'm Still Here).
This powerful ceremony, held at the sustainably built "Cine Aldeia" in Manaus, highlights the deep connection between storytelling, spirituality, and cultural heritage.
As Hollywood gears up for the big night, this unique tradition reminds us of the voices and traditions that shape cinema beyond the red carpet.
