Iracema, uma transa amazônica

A digitally restored version of a fundamental title in the history of Brazilian cinema that mixes fiction and non-fiction in a road movie — starring a young girl from Iracema and an unruly truck driver — that travels through the destruction caused by a specific type of post-colonial capitalism: the construction of the Transamazon Highway. The film explores an area of the Amazon that was under the control of the armed forces at the time of the military dictatorship in Brazil.
