Premiere of the New Documentary Nawa Sia: Secrets of the Amazon in Monaco
Isabella Vieira’s new documentary Nawa Sia: Secrets of the Amazon is set to premiere in early 2025 and it will transform the way you view films. Several therapeutic elements will be combined in the experience of watching the film. Aromatherapy will be used in screenings by diffusing the scent of the forest throughout the cinema while the sound there will be played at 432 Hz, which is often described as the “Earth frequency”, to promote balance and well-being. The music for the film was recorded at this very frequency to stimulate cellular regeneration and harmonize the brain, offering its viewers a soothing escape like no other.
And the film is not just a showcase in cinematic innovation, it also aims to be a session in emotional and mental healing. Through a focus on the connection between humans and nature, Isabella and the Monaco team aims to help their audiences to reconnect with themselves in a uniquely meaningful way.
Nawa Sia: Secrets of the Amazon is a fascinatingly innovative documentary that immerses you in the beauty, wisdom and spiritual connection between indigenous peoples and the Amazon rainforest. Supported by Monaco’s Prince Albert II Foundation, this hugely valuable project is an ambitious call to action to preserve indigenous cultures and protect the planet’s largest rainforest.
Despite the film’s focus on issues related to the Amazon, its creation was made possible through the collaboration of a young, passionate team dedicated to making a difference through art. The film’s director, Isabella Vieira, aimed to build a team of like-minded individuals committed to using cinema as a tool for both spiritual and environmental change. She realized this vision by involving a group of young professionals from Monaco and the French Riviera, with Liam Fabre, a talented young Monegasque videographer, serving as a key collaborator. This inclusion of Monaco’s youth reflects Vieira’s belief in their potential, offering them opportunities to explore, learn, and create impactful art.
“Nawa Sia” is at its heart a film that celebrates and amplifies the voices of indigenous peoples of the Amazon. The documentary dives into their ancestral knowledge and their deep-rooted connection to the forest, really showing how their ways of living are essential to preserving this most important ecosystem. The film doesn’t just show the breathtaking beauty of the Amazon, it also features traditional music and rituals of its people, presenting its audiences with a raw and respectful insight into a way of life that might hold the secret to saving our planet.
The documentary also shines a light on the resilience of these communities, focusing especially on local efforts to protect the forest from destruction. By showing a blend of hope and resistance, the film’s director calls for action to support these indigenous groups and to help them to preserve their sacred connection to the land.
More than just raising awareness, Isabella Vieira wants to motivate her viewers to take meaningful steps to support indigenous rights and protect the Amazon. The film calls on its audiences to clearly see that conservation is not just the responsibility of the few, but for all of us and each person can make a difference. By showing the vital role of indigenous people in saving our planet, “Nawa Sia” invites the public to become active participants in this crucial mission.
The film is set to premiere in early 2025 in Monaco, as well as through film festivals, various streaming platforms and partnerships with different NGOs and conservation organisations. Through this variety of resources the director wants to help to start a conversation about the urgent need to preserve these indigenous cultures and to protect the Amazon rainforest.
Nawa Sia: Secrets of the Amazon is more than a film or a documentary, it’s an entire experience that combines cinematic artistry with a powerful environmental and spiritual message. Through its immersive storytelling and holistic multisensory approach, it gives its viewers a chance to reconnect with nature and themselves, all while inspiring a greater commitment to the preservation of our planet’s most precious resources.
