This brand new, feature length documentary traces the rise of Brazil's Landless Movement (MST) from its founding in 1984 to the 2002 election of Brazils first working class president, Luis Inacio Lula da Silva (Lula). Directed by Miguel Barros and co-produced by El Deseo, of award winning Spanish Director Pedro Almodovar, the film was awarded Best Documentary in Spain's 2004 Malaga Film Festival. The director spent an entire year visiting MST settlements and interviewing MST members in order to produce this firsthand account of the MST's long and difficult struggle.
