Imagens de um Sonho

2019 · 20 min

A raw, intimate collage of workers' own videos, quietly absorbing and tinged with melancholy as it traces hope and disillusion over a decade.

Overview
Composed of videos published on YouTube by Petrobras contractors, the film explores an important chapter in the country through fragments of working life inside and outside the factory. With their own hands, the working class registers - over a decade (2008-2018) - the joys and disappointments of their journey.
