FILM
"O Sonho de Rose 10 anos depois" / "Rose's Dream - 10 Years Later"
Tete Moraes, Director
In Portuguese with English language subtitles
The film follows the lives of the characters of the acclaimed documentary film LAND FOR ROSE (1987), by the same director; and tells the story of 1,500 families of peasants without land who occupied, in 1985, an unproductive farm in the southern state of Brazil, Rio Grande do Sul. Ten years after the shooting of the first film, the director goes back to the same location to find out what happened after they conquered the land and, in a stirring account, shows that most of them managed to turn their dreams into reality. But, what happpened to Rose's dream?
This event is free and open to the general public.
