In the jungles of the Brazilian Amazon, groups of farmers and their families get by in when they can build, grow and cultivate with the land beneath their feet.

They might not technically own this land, but they have a deep sense of place.

They're what's known in Brazil as landless workers.

Well, landless movement, it's a huge movement.

It's not one movement.

You have thousands of groups of, you know, poor people who are fighting for a piece of land.

That's Anna Aranya.

She's a documentary filmmaker who has covered the landless workers movement in all of its

environmental, social, and political intricacies for over a decade.

About four years ago, Anna got onto a conflict brewing in Parah, a northern state that covers

the Brazilian Amazon.

We were tracking some information about the race of violence in the state of Paran, you know,

about how some groups of big land owners were getting ready to try to expel the landless movements across the state of Paras.

One of the landless workers in Parah, who Anna would come to know, was a young farmer named

Fernando Dos Santos Arajo. Fernando had claimed his bit of land in Par diar who Anna would come to know, was a young farmer named Fernando dos Santos Auro.

Fernando had claimed his bit of land in Par diarco on the eastern side of the state of Parah,

and he worked damn hard. It was there that Fernando farmed his fruits and vegetables for his meals.

His dream was to live in peace in that settlement.

Fernando was a handsome man, physically, I mean. He had a ponytail and he had a beautiful

smile and he had a fit body. He didn't work out, but he was a rural worker. So he looked always sharp in his own way.

You know, he was always taking care of the way he looked.

The other thing, Yushinawa Fernando, is that he was gay.
