Tetê Moraes' documentary _Land for Rose_ gives an account of the first years of MST, the most important social movement raised in Brazil -- I dare to say in Latin America -- in the last 20 years (www.mstbrazil.org). _Land_ was followed by _Rose's Dream_, that shows, ten years later (1997), some of the major accomplishments in agrarian reform. The brazilian DVDs have english subtitles. Aline Sasahara's and Maria Luiza Mendonça's _Land in Our Hands_, yet about the MST, can be watched at www.witness.org Three of our leading filmmakers (João Moreira Salles, Eduardo Coutinho and Nelson Pereira dos Santos) are at this moment finishing documentaries on Lula's campaign, life trajectory and the first hundred days of his mandate, respectively. João Batista de Andrade's _Greve_, Gervitz's and Toledo's _Braços Cruzados, Máquinas Paradas_ and Leon Hirszman's _ABC da Greve_ are classic documentaries about Lula's past as a syndicate leader. Hope this helps. Best, Fernando
