View on the Pragda STREAM site

Far from the Amazon Rainforest and Rio's skyscrapers, the Northeast Region and Tocantins stand in stark contrast to the rest of Brazil. Together, they comprise an area three times the size of France, each divided into multiple distinct regions.

The Northeast, one of Brazil's poorest regions, has been grappling with an ongoing drought that has lasted nearly eight years. In response, drivers are tasked with distributing water, a vital resource, to prevent the abandonment of entire villages. In this episode, we follow Armando as he navigates this immense nation under challenging traveling conditions.

In a land threatened by bushfires and famine, drivers like Armando play a crucial role in ensuring the survival of the people in this remote and arid region.
