Movie description

In São Pedro (neighborhood of Vitória-ES-Brazil), thousands of people survived, in the 80's, living from the garbage. The scenes of women, children and men mixed with waste and vultures inspired the filmmaker Amylton de Almeida. The documentary shocked the country and put pressure on the authorities to start the process of urbanization and humanization in the region.
