00:02:28.031 --> 00:02:36.031
- In 1991, the Amnesty International
make a world denounce

00:02:38.708 --> 00:02:45.282
that Brazil was killing
childrens, babies,

00:02:45.649 --> 00:02:47.851
kids in the streets.

00:02:49.819 --> 00:02:53.490
This was a international scandal.

00:02:56.193 --> 00:03:01.998
It was at the international scale,
was saying that we,

00:03:02.065 --> 00:03:08.138
Brazilians, were in a situation

00:03:08.238 --> 00:03:10.540
that we never thought that was possible.

00:03:11.741 --> 00:03:19.741
That we were killing human beings
if eight, seven, nine-years-old.

00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:34.898
This was not a surprise, because in fact,

00:03:35.632 --> 00:03:40.904
in Brazil in the last four
or five, six years,

00:03:41.571 --> 00:03:47.844
we noticed that this was a reality.

00:03:50.313 --> 00:03:53.316
Brazil is no more the country of Carnival

00:03:53.850 --> 00:03:57.254
or coffee or football or soccer.

00:03:58.388 --> 00:04:04.394
Brazil is the country today
that kill kids.

00:04:04.527 --> 00:04:06.529
[music]

00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:12.155
-Bodies of trees and children.

00:06:13.456 --> 00:06:15.158
Murdering poor children

00:06:15.392 --> 00:06:22.065
and killing living forest
are opposite sides of the same coin,

00:06:23.566 --> 00:06:26.636
but who is the
responsible for these deaths?

00:06:27.637 --> 00:06:34.978
Who Brazilian people, original people,
workers, peasants, students,

00:06:35.712 --> 00:06:39.416
housewives or the people from the forest?

00:06:39.549 --> 00:06:42.652
Do they want to destroy their own future?

00:07:22.192 --> 00:07:24.093

[music]

00:09:44.567 --> 00:09:48.805
- In some Brazilian regions,
economic slavery still persists.

00:09:49.706 --> 00:09:54.010
In the Amazon,
workers on big farms are forced

00:09:54.110 --> 00:09:55.812
to buy their groceries

00:09:56.045 --> 00:10:00.350
at inflated price
in the shop of their bosses.

00:10:01.317 --> 00:10:06.956
The employees debt
is always kept higher than their wage.

00:10:08.358 --> 00:10:14.430
Like Brazil, Miguel pays
an endless colonial tribute.

00:11:52.061 --> 00:11:52.462
[music]

00:11:52.528 --> 00:11:55.998
- Sugarcane plantations start
in Brazil at the beginning

00:11:56.065 --> 00:12:00.503
of the 16th century,
after the arrival of Europeans.

00:12:01.571 --> 00:12:03.740
The Portuguese occupied the coastal areas

00:12:03.873 --> 00:12:06.642
and grew sugarcane on big plantations

00:12:06.743 --> 00:12:10.246
with wealthy land owners and slavery.

00:12:11.247 --> 00:12:16.853
In this way, they maintained
their imperial greed for two centuries.

00:12:18.788 --> 00:12:23.493
Moving West, the European occupation
expanded inside the continent.

00:12:24.427 --> 00:12:26.662
Throughout the 18th century,

00:12:26.829 --> 00:12:31.167
Brazilian mines produced
more that 10 tons of pure gold,

00:12:31.534 --> 00:12:35.238
stuffing European safes with huge wealth.

00:12:36.706 --> 00:12:40.977
The 20th century introduced cleaner
and more sophisticated methods.

00:12:41.544 --> 00:12:47.683
Today, instead of exporting
natural resource, Brazil exports money.

00:12:48.918 --> 00:12:51.287
The country is forced to produce dollars

00:12:51.954 --> 00:12:56.726
to feed an increasing [?]
of eternal debt.

00:12:56.893 --> 00:12:59.262
[music]

00:13:03.533 --> 00:13:06.769
The colonial ideology
has found its target.

00:13:07.670 --> 00:13:11.374
To establish a relationship
of absolute dependence

00:13:12.408 --> 00:13:15.044
of the conquered on the conquerors.

00:13:15.111 --> 00:13:17.413
[music]

00:14:08.497 --> 00:14:11.367
- During the \'80s,
Brazilian society became aware

00:14:11.434 --> 00:14:14.704
of their living tragedy
with galloping inflation,

00:14:14.837 --> 00:14:16.505
unemployment, recession,

00:14:16.606 --> 00:14:19.642
and the dramatic fall
in the quality of life.

00:14:20.276 --> 00:14:23.813
Consequently,
a whole nation is on the move,

00:14:23.913 --> 00:14:27.583
searching for life and land in one

00:14:27.617 --> 00:14:32.154
of the biggest internal migratory flutes
of the human history.

00:14:33.756 --> 00:14:37.994
All these suffering
to service the external debt.

00:14:44.400 --> 00:14:48.704
In the Brazilian North,
drawings and simple paintings,

00:14:48.804 --> 00:14:53.376
often showing donkey trying
to reach a bunch of grass

00:14:54.377 --> 00:14:58.481
that keeps moving away
while he goes on chasing.

00:15:00.449 --> 00:15:04.553
Popular poets today compare
this situation with the payment

00:15:04.687 --> 00:15:06.055
of the external debt,

00:15:06.188 --> 00:15:10.259
as well as with the immigrant
countrymen marching

00:15:10.359 --> 00:15:14.363
through endless roads
in search of their dreams.

00:15:15.097 --> 00:15:20.536
Parents and children
are strangers in their own country,

00:15:21.537 --> 00:15:23.973
with no rights of citizenship.

00:15:50.166 --> 00:15:52.868

00:16:26.836 --> 00:16:29.105
-The dream of these people is the land

00:16:29.905 --> 00:16:36.078
where they can live, but now all this land

00:16:36.245 --> 00:16:40.850
is concentrated
in a very few hands.

00:19:08.297 --> 00:19:11.033
[music]

00:19:39.128 --> 00:19:43.966
- Over 500 years,
Brazilian Indians were hunted,

00:19:44.567 --> 00:19:49.238
violated, slaughtered,
but they resist extermination.

00:19:49.772 --> 00:19:53.075
They have never had a history of suicide,

00:19:54.376 --> 00:19:55.978
but in the last two years,

00:19:56.579 --> 00:19:59.682
Brazil has faced the new page
in its history.

00:20:00.449 --> 00:20:03.619
Young Indians poisoning themselves

00:20:04.153 --> 00:20:10.092
by drinking agro-toxics
or hanging themselves in sacred trees.

00:31:40.081 --> 00:31:41.081
They are Blacks.

00:31:42.050 --> 00:31:43.251
They are poor.

00:31:45.387 --> 00:31:49.991
They are nothing,
for the Brazilian society,

00:31:51.559 --> 00:31:57.032
for the Brazilian elite,
for the Brazilian dominant class.

00:31:58.633 --> 00:32:03.204
They are nothing for the government.

00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:07.375
They are nothing for the market.

00:32:10.211 --> 00:32:12.047
They are not consumers.

00:32:14.382 --> 00:32:15.984
They have no money.

00:32:20.522 --> 00:32:24.859
They are just human beings
without nothing,

00:32:27.896 --> 00:32:32.901
and because of that,
because they are our problem,

00:32:32.968 --> 00:32:35.570
because they are our scandal,

00:32:37.138 --> 00:32:43.812
because they are the problem
of 500 years of colonization,

00:32:48.683 --> 00:32:55.557
because of all the reasons,
they have to be destroyed.

-This is what we have to face.

00:34:11.599 --> 00:34:18.006
This is what I reflect and I think,

00:34:23.511 --> 00:34:28.883
as a father of my son, I have to ask.

00:34:30.285 --> 00:34:33.788
Who are the killers of these childrens?

00:42:22.657 --> 00:42:24.759
-This is Brazil today

00:42:25.426 --> 00:42:29.096
with their people victimized
by greedy powerful men,

00:42:29.697 --> 00:42:31.666
the big multinational corporations

00:42:32.333 --> 00:42:34.569
and the corruption of intermediaries.

00:42:35.603 --> 00:42:39.040
All the money committed
to health, sanitation,

00:42:39.206 --> 00:42:43.878
housing and educational programs
is being diverted

00:42:43.978 --> 00:42:48.249
to private accounts fattening
the gigantic corruption

00:42:48.449 --> 00:42:52.887
that looks today like
this twin sister of external debt.

00:42:54.589 --> 00:42:58.326
There are thousands
of children living in the streets,

00:42:58.693 --> 00:43:01.762
surviving on crime or small jobs.

00:43:02.930 --> 00:43:06.634
About four children
are murdered every day in Brazil.

00:43:06.701 --> 00:43:08.202
[music]

00:43:26.420 --> 00:43:31.759
This was the Brazilian
and our scandal.

00:43:34.328 --> 00:43:40.534
What was said
by Amnesty International?

00:43:41.702 --> 00:43:43.871
What was the international denounce

00:43:44.405 --> 00:43:47.475
that we have to face
and we have to confront?

00:43:55.016 --> 00:43:59.120
These kids have to be protected,

00:44:00.221 --> 00:44:05.459
have to be loved
like we love in the world,

00:44:05.559 --> 00:44:07.762
the trees, the animals.

00:44:09.864 --> 00:44:14.301
All this talk about
ecology and environment

00:44:16.170 --> 00:44:21.308
in which we try
to give value to everything,

00:44:22.410 --> 00:44:25.379
how to give value with human beings?

00:44:26.614 --> 00:44:34.355
We can\'t kill lives that
are the possibility of this future.

00:44:34.955 --> 00:44:42.329
When humanity is able
to kill a children,

00:44:43.330 --> 00:44:51.330
this humanity is able
to do anything against humanity.

00:44:54.075 --> 00:44:58.379
Your silence, your complicity,

00:45:00.081 --> 00:45:08.081
your ignorance of what
is happening in our country

00:45:10.624 --> 00:45:17.298
is something that is not innocent.
