A debate about the agrarian reform in Brazil, in free and poetic form, showing the countrymen's struggles and hardships, and rural unionism issues after the military coup, kind of a nonlinear interpretation of Mário Chamie's poem "Lavra-Lavra".

O Canto da Terra

Paulo Rufino

Rereading fundamental moments in the history of Brazil, the film studies the development of Brazilian economic concentration from its origins in the land "design" of discovery and colonization - to the irrepressible display of violence in the countryside today. The film is structured in three blocks subdivided into corners: - the first "discovers" the theme of the earth and its characters, focusing on the proper land problem; - the second analyzes land use by studying the agricultural economy; - and finally, the third presents the violence generated by the concentration studied in the first two. First documentary consisting of a large panel of landscape and Brazilian history, filmed throughout our territory and focusing on the land problem - with serious consequences for the current stage of Brazilian development from the discovery to the present day. Set up for greater ease of use, filling a serious gap with schools, unions and universities.
