SYNOPSIS

Beyond sprawling highways and off the electrical grid, a remote fishing village in southeastern Brazil lives according to the rhythms of the sea. This community, descended from Indigenous peoples, Europeans, and escaped African slaves, is one of the last of its kind. It’s a unique culture, whose sustainable practices and alternative forms of kinship are threatened by deforestation and unbridled government-led development. No Kings is a lovingly crafted ode to nature and the resistance of contemporary Indigenous life.
