Resistance in the Storm

On January 13, 2024, heavy rain fell on the state of Rio de Janeiro, flooding streets and devastating entire neighborhoods. Belford Roxo was one of the hardest-hit cities. The documentary portrays the mobilization and struggle of the “Mais Por Nós” project and the Coletivo Cria to help those most affected, who, as a result of environmental racism and the effects of the climate crisis, were left without access to basic services, such as electricity, water, food and personal hygiene items.
