Very well done and important documentary about (and inside!) the Landless Workers Movement (MST), one of the most relevant social movements in the world, with wonderful cinematography and meaningful testimonies. It is impressive how politically conscious are its activists in general, mostly with low formal education, and how deep is their political analysis abilily. We can also see in the film their strategies, concerns, hopes... how they deal with religion and gender, how the press and judiciary deal with the movement. It is particularly important to highlight that the documentary has been produced after 2016, under reactionary cabinets led by Michel Temer and, mostly, Jair Bolsonaro. Therefore, policies and public actions against MST have increased, including its criminalization, while land reform became stagnated. A necessary movie.
