About

Here in the Amazon jungle, where the spirit world and the natural world merge, Shake has reached the highest honor a Yanomamö shaman can attain. Shake has possession of many spirits, but the Spirit most feared by all Yanomamö, is one they call Yai Wanonabälewä – The Enemy God.

The Enemy God is a feature film that tells the true story of a Yanomamö shaman in the Amazon rainforest and the supernatural struggle for the survival of his people. It represents a collaboration of storytellers and filmmakers from Venezuela, Belize, the US, and Canada.
