  1. Biased and misleading documentary. They call themselves socialists but MST has nothing to do with that. They just invade and destroy useful land and make thousands of already poor workers lose their jobs. This documentary uses a propaganda settlement , every other of their settlements are abandoned and completely destroyed.

  2. Força povo do Brasil. Saudações de Portugal dum Luso-brasileiro de Manaus!
    Agora com o Brics deixem de depender dos EUA e mostrem a sua força, energia, coragem e respeito ao Mundo e tornem-se uma das Potenciais não só económica como política e social que vocês merecem ser! Mais que a Alemanha, França, Reino Unido e mesmo os EUA que está a decair e não caiam no erro do Woken movement e antes Wake up! Abraços e um beijo pra familia em Manaus, Santarém e Macapa! espero que a avó esteja melhor…

  3. I live in the UK and every time I eat mandarins from Peru I think of the words our Peruvian friend told me: "In Peru mandarins are more expensive than in the UK and it's not easy for people there to buy".
    And it feels that I am part of this rotten system that sucks…

  4. What a wonderful documentary! Thank you! It's just what I needed in my land of little hope, the USA. The Latin American poor majority has been a huge inspiration to me for several decades. Such courage! Such true grit! People who never, ever give up, no matter how bad things become. People who stick together, who understand the common good. These particular people and their commitment to the land, to Mother Earth, is especially moving.

  5. how based can you get? Look at this shit – I feel ashamed of myself. All I offer is Solidarity like some spineless champaign socialist.

  6. Didn't Lula break his promise to MST of resettling families in exchange for them abandoning their position of occupying public buildings? Sure, Bolsonaro was scum, but Lula's loyalty is to his bourgeoisie as well.

  7. "If the countryside doesn't plant, the city doesn't eat." Solidarity with MST!

    We are all indebted to the Earth and those who maintain it, feeding all of humanity. They are the foundation upon which our entire society is built.

  8. Parabéns pelo excelente documentário, a luta do MST é importante tanto para o Brasil quanto para o mundo. Esse documentário ajudará a inspirar pessoas do mundo inteiro a construir a luta pelo poder popular!

  9. The only thing that will save this world is if all countries encourage, and help fund the start, of projects like this. Too bad greedy capitalists have the power to stop it from happening.
