Two Lawalapiti young men from Alto Xingu learn to build a canoe from the bark of the jatobá tree, a quick and simple technique that leaves the tree still rooted and alive, and that has ceased to be used and is only known by the oldest Lawalapiti men.
Cidadão Jatobá was directed by Maria Luiza d'Aboim.
Cidadão Jatobá runs for 14min, and was released in 1987.
