Iracema - Uma Transa AmazĂŽnica

A girl from the countryside goes to the city of BelĂ©m to take part in the CĂ­rio de NazarĂ© celebrations. Led to prostitution, she wishes to move to the wealthiest Southeast region of Brazil. In a dance club, she meets a truck driver that transports wood. Dreaming with the big city, she asks for a ride, and the two begin a journey through the Trans-Amazon road. In tension with the Brazilian military authorities of the time, the film registers several aspects of the Amazon social tragedy – forest fires, slave work and child prostitution. Awarded in several international festivals, the film was forbidden by the Brazilian censorship. It was only released years later, winning the BrasĂ­lia Film Festival in 1981.
