Trabalhadores Rurais

Trabalhadores Rurais (1972)

Documentary

Report on the situation of bóias-frias in the interior of the State of São Paulo, as in the city of Itapetininga. These workers live in poor villages in urban areas and are taken by truck to work in the fields in the middle of the night. Men, women and children work hard in the countryside to earn a living for their family, but are unable to have land to plant. The system of bóias-frias is used by farmers, as there is no commitment to a monthly salary or portfolio registration; only hours worked are paid.

Director: João Batista de Andrade
