Synopsis
1983. After a year and a half of filming, Frederico Füllgraf releases this feature-length documentary, which closely follows families displaced from their lands and destined to be submerged by the future reservoir of the Itaipu Hydroelectric Plant. The film captures pivotal moments from social movements and the leaders fighting for life and productive land for those whose destinies were radically altered by the dam — a vital contribution to preserving the memory of one of the most devastating events in Paraná’s history. (G.B.)
This film will be screened alongside Quarup Seven Falls.
