We are showing the film Chão - Landless, a 4-year documentary about the landless movement in Brazil.
"For four years, Camila Freitas documented the lives of a group of landless workers in the Brazilian state of Goiás. They have been occupying parts of a factory site since 2015 and are demanding a redistribution of the land. Chão gives an insight into their everyday life between farm work, political activism and conversations about a possible better future. The film delves into the microstructures of political action on the ground and at the same time shows the dependencies of the Landless Workers Movement on Brazilian politics, global capital and agribusiness."
