Trotoar

A film about popular movements in defense of housing. Introducing: the State against the Homeless, in the capital of Brazil.

This film touches on political thought, worldview, as well as the direct actions of a group of militants from autonomous movements in the Federal District of Brazil, from 2005 to 2013.

Since 2015, the Landless Workers Movement has been occupying an indebted sugarcane factory's land to press for its redistribution through land reform. Grandma, P.C. and their encamped fellows struggle to conquer a small share of land where they can settle down and live a self-sustainable life, growing agro-ecological crops in a newly knit peasant community they draw in their dreams.
