SEM TERRA
"Sem-Terra", "Without a land ", depicts the daily fight of brazilian independent farmers for their right to keep their land against the government's privatization policies. The actual authorities 's attempts to denigrate the so-called "terrorist" movement, the marches of the "sem-Terras" on Rio, and the present discussions on brazilian membership to the FMI makes of "Sem-Terra" a hit for current and international programs.

Commentaires
The SEM TERRA don't want to keep their land, simply because they don't have a land: "SEM TERRA" = "WITHOUT LAND". What they want in fact is to become owners of pieces of land of big farmers, for free. To achieve this objective, they do everything: steal, kill, destruct... They really don't deserve any kind of "honor".
