Itaúnas: Ecological Disaster 1979

Directed by Orlando Bomfim Netto

Artistic documentary that combines images of human beings and nature to achieve a highly significant aesthetic result. Irrational deforestation in Itaúnas (northern Espírito Santo, Brazil) makes the village vulnerable to sand blown by the intense winds. In 1968, the region becomes uninhabitable, producing a living example of ecological disaster.
