Private Project

Soaking the Ground

At the onset of the dry season, a young peasant farmer and a hardworking juçara
extractivist, try to keep their communities resilient with every drop of rain they can gather in a
region of the Amazon rainforest scarred by intense predatory human activity and the
ever-diminishing rainfall.
