Trabalhadores Rurais

This documentary focuses on the bóias-frias, seasonal agricultural workers in the interior of São Paulo, particularly in Itapetininga. These individuals, including men, women, and children, face difficult circumstances as they work in the fields under a system that offers no job security or guaranteed wages. They endure long hours and harsh conditions, often transported by truck to their workplaces in the middle of the night.

The film highlights the poor villages where these workers reside and the economic challenges they face. It sheds light on their efforts to provide for their families while lacking access to land for cultivation. "Trabalhadores Rurais" serves as an important visual documentation of the socio-economic realities of rural labor in Brazil during this era.
