- Summary:
- Just released from prison, Léa (Léa Alves Silva) returns home to the Brasilia favela of Sol Nascente and joins up with her half-sister Chitara (Joana Darc Furtado), the fearless leader of an all-female gang that steals and refines oil from underground pipes and sells gasoline to a clandestine network of motorcyclists. Living in constant opposition to Jair Bolsonaro's fiercely authoritarian and militarized government, Chitara's women claim the streets for themselves as a declaration of radical political resistance on behalf of ex-cons and the oppressed. An electrifying portrait of Brazil's dystopian contemporary moment that blends documentary with narrative fiction and genre elements, DRY GROUND BURNING reunites filmmakers Joana Pimenta and Adirley Queirós to offer a unique vision of the country's possible future
