Lampião, o Rei do Cangaço

Scenes from the daily life of Virgulino Ferreira da Silva—the cangaceiro leader LampiĆ£o—and his group, captured by cinematographer Benjamin AbrahĆ£o. Their survival strategies in the sertĆ£o landscape, their gestures, habits, clothing, and diet are illustrated. Proud of their status, the group's main members are shown displaying their weapons and combat skills in the caatinga. Maria Bonita and LampiĆ£o appear in moments of tension and relaxation, highlighting the harmony of the band and, above all, the rigors of life as a cangaceiro. (Cinemateca Brasileira)
