In the Land of The Righteous Men

In the Land of Righteous Men is a documentary that shifts attention away from the spotlight and toward the invisible side of filmmaking. Instead of focusing on actors or premieres, it centers on extras, camera assistants, kitchen workers and production helpers, the people who sustain cinema while remaining unseen.

Through direct testimonies marked by hardship, violence, survival, dignity and resilience, the film reveals lives that reflect the invisibility of their labor. What begins as documentation becomes a concrete gesture: every person interviewed and photographed in the film will form the invisible crew of the director’s next feature. The documentary does not simply portray them. It integrates them into a future work.

Director Biography - Fabricio Estevam Mira

Fabricio is a Brazilian independent filmmaker working outside institutional funding structures. Emerging from a guerrilla cinema background, he writes, directs and produces his own projects, often assuming multiple creative and technical roles in order to maintain full artistic control.

His work rejects aesthetic complacency and nationalist sentimentality, seeking instead a rigorous and uncompromising cinematic language. Focused on themes of power, violence, invisibility and social contradiction, his films explore the tension between spectacle and labor, fiction and reality.

His documentary In the Land of the Righteous Men reflects this approach by turning the camera toward the unseen workers of filmmaking and integrating them into the foundation of his next feature project.
