Forty years after his death, the body of militant Arnaldo Cardoso Rocha was exhumed, and a Federal Police report confirmed that he had been detained, tortured, and executed by state agents during the civil-military dictatorship in 1973. A guerrilla fighter with the ALN (National Liberation Action), he and his partner, Iara Xavier, fought against the dictatorial regime. Iara became a symbol of the struggle for truth and justice. This documentary is dedicated to the memory of young revolutionaries who dared to fight for a more just, egalitarian, and socialist society.

MovieDocumentary

Crystal mining in the 1940s gave rise to the village of São Jorge, in Goiás. With the creation of Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park in the 1960s, mining was banned, and ecotourism became the region's main economic activity. Photographer João Fernandes witnessed and documented this transformation, dedicating himself to making the Cerrado's natural attractions more accessible through the construction of viewpoints.
