Brazil Unfiltered: Paid in Blood (Pau d’Arco) + Q&A
Line up: Ana Aranha | 2025 | Brazil | 89’ | EN subtitles

After surviving the massacre in which the police killed 10 landless rural workers, the main witness to the crime and his lawyer fight for justice and the right to a land. Following their journey through seven years in the Pará region of the Amazon, shocking events suggest a possible attempt to cover up the crime.

From 14 March to 14 May, Brazil Unfiltered brings together six urgent documentary films confronting social injustice in Brazil, offering unvarnished perspectives from the frontlines of resistance. Centering territorial struggles, the program moves from indigenous land defense to grassroots activism against urban violence and marginalisation.
