The Voice of Field (2010)

Feature film 60 min documentary, portrays rural unionism of Pernambuco. His main character is Euclides Nascimento, a great defender of the people of the countryside since the 1960s. Euclides Nascimento was born in the hands of a midwife in a house covered with clay. It was in the Cafundó mill, located in the Pernambuco municipality of Buenos Aires, that the peasant, still a boy, realized the abuses that the landowners imposed on the rural workers' rights. Founder of the first unions in the Northern Forest Zone of Pernambuco, formed by the church in the 1960s, Nascimento became one of the great agrarian leaders of that state. Even persecuted, he actively fought the repression of the dictatorship, managing to keep many unions free from intervention during his presidency of the Federation of Agricultural Workers of Pernambuco, FETAPE. After almost 50 years of struggle, his history is mixed up with the gradual conquests of the peasant class. The flag in favor of the organic unionism, managed by the "man of the field, for the people of the field" becomes his trademark and, despite the years passed, he continues transmitting his detailed narratives in the federations of the country to the new leaders that seek to continue the trajectory of his eternal walk.
