About This Movie

Ocupação Mauá is an intriguing documentary that pulls you right into the heart of São Paulo's housing struggles. It paints a vivid picture of the residents living in the Mauá Occupation—how they organize, their social dynamics, and even the communal events that breathe life into their daily existence. The pacing feels raw, not rushed, allowing you to absorb the atmosphere of resilience and civil disobedience, reminiscent of Gandhi's principles. The film's focus on practicalities, like cleaning efforts and community gatherings, gives it a grounded vibe that feels personal. It’s not just about the hardships but also about the human spirit and collective action. Definitely a distinct perspective on urban living and activism.
