In 1985, in Conceição do Araguaia, in the south of Pará, the local peasants relate cases of murders of their leaders by gunmen hired by the powerful farmers. The Church supports the survivors in a fight for justice and land reform.
The timeless "Igreja dos Oprimidos" is a documentary that discloses the eternal fight for land in Brazil, with the powerful farmers expelling the peasants from their lands using gunmen. The church at the same time that claims for justice, is also an instrument to avoid armed fight. My vote is six.
