Film: Landless Farmers and the Biggest March in Brazilian History
22 February 2010
Upcoming events
Attend a viewing on 25 February of a new feature-length documentary on the MST, Latin America's largest social movement and a War on Want partner organisation.
In 2005, 12,000 members of the Brazilian-based Movimento Sem Terra (MST), or Landless Workers' Movement, rose before dawn and hit the motorway, creating a red column stretching four kilometers as they bore down on the capital BrasÃlia in their bid for land reform.
British journalist and filmmaker Gibby Zobel spent 17 days with the MST documenting the march and profiling Latin America's largest social movement. The resulting footage was made into a powerful film, Landess Farmers and the Biggest March in Brazilian History, which is being shown at Latin American House in London.
The event will feature a conversation with Alex Kawakami, a representative of the MST, and Professor Else Vieira, Queen Mary School of Languages, Linguistics and Film.
