In Brazil, the richest 1% owns more than ha lf of the land. The Brazilian agrarian reform, enshrined in the 1988 Const itution, aims to redistribute unproductive land from large landowners (faz endeiros) to landless families. But this process is fiercely opposed by th e elites, who see land ownership as a status symbol. So the claim for land becomes a long, often violent fight: many families live for years, someti mes decades, in makeshift camps, in plastic tents, subject to threats and aggression, until their rights are finally recognized.


Raízes Se m Terra collects the stories of Bahian landless families — their hopes, st ruggles, fights, and desires. Here, in the semiarid sertão, social injusti ce is inseparable from climatic and environmental injustice: owning land m eans nothing without water to cultivate. Rain falls only a few weeks each year, with climate change exacerbating this dryiness, and only the wealthy can afford to drill wells.


A choral documentary where many live s intertwine to tell one larger story: of resistance, injustice, fight and hope.


"Raìzes Sem Terra" directed by Francesco Ballarini,  2026, 45 minutes, in Brazilian with English subtitles.


Door open s at 19:00, movie and presentation start at 20:00, followed by a discussio n with Francesco Ballarini.


Since June 2005, Joe's Garage is an autonomous squatted political social center, a meeting place in the Transv aal neighborhood for squatters and non-squatters, subsidy free, not for pr ofit, self-organized and entirely run by volunteers.
