“The MST is probably the most important social movement in the world” Noam Chomsky
This activist documentary traces the struggle and ultimate success of the Landless Movement in Brazil. It denounces the injustice in the distribution and agricultural exploitation of the land in Brazil in (where one percent of the population owns half of the available land). The film shows how the MST (Movimiento de los Sin Tierra) is fighting to improve the condition of the lives of millions of Brazilian families marginalized in the country and the cities.
Co-produced by Pedro Almodóvar’s production company, El Deseo.
