This deeply
touching documentary examines the parallel destruction of
the environment and the migrant workers who make their living
chopping down the Amazon rainforest. Their job is to create
charcoals for iron production used primarily in the automobile
industry in developed countries. The film examines their daily
lives as they burn timber, their bodies charred gray for two
dollars a day, children and elders alike. Touching and disturbing,
the film is beautifully photographed, critically acclaimed
and has been honored with numerous international awards and
recognition.
