Raimunda: A Quebradeira

Raimunda: A Quebradeira is a Brazilian documentary about the women who struggle for survival collecting babaçu nuts in the Amazon.

Raimunda

It is an inspiring story of resistance and triumph in the Brazilian forest, where War on Want partner organisation MIQCB supports the 300,000 women who make their living from the nuts.

Raimunda provides a rare and intimate look at this unknown community of women, whose ecologically sound way of life is under threat from the Brazilian government and big business moving in.

The film was accepted by the prestigious Latin American Film Festival and was shown at London's Renoir Cinema on 14 November 2007 and then at the Brazilian Embassy on 26 February 2008.
