Overview

A girl from the countryside goes to the city of Belém to take part in the Círio de Nazaré celebrations. Led to prostitution, she wishes to move to the wealthiest Southeast region of Brazil. In a dance club, she meets a truck driver that transports wood. Dreaming with the big city, she asks for a ride, and the two begin a journey through the Trans-Amazon road. In tension with the Brazilian military authorities of the time, the film registers several aspects of the Amazon social tragedy – forest fires, slave work and child prostitution. Awarded in several international festivals, the film was forbidden by the Brazilian censorship. It was only released years later, winning the Brasília Film Festival in 1981.

Overview

Em 1974, em plena ditadura, quando o governo militar alardeava a propaganda da construção do “Brasil Grande”, Jorge Bodanzky, Orlando Senna e Wolf Gauer filmam Iracema — uma transa amazônica, ficção com uma feição documental que se tornou marco na cinematografia brasileira. O filme faz um contraponto à propaganda oficial da época sobre a Amazônia, revelando as queimadas, o trabalho escravo e a prostituição infantil através da história da menina ribeirinha Iracema, que, atraída pela cidade grande e pela lábia do motorista de caminhão Tião Brasil Grande, acaba se prostituindo às margens da rodovia Transamazônica. Proibido durante seis anos no Brasil, recebeu inúmeros prêmios em festivais internacionais. Em 1981, foi o grande vencedor do Festival de Brasília do Cinema Brasileiro.
