Description
Filmed in a starkly realistic documentary style, this film shows the effects of the Trans-Amazonian Highway that was cut through the rain forest in 1972. Iracema (Edna de Cássia) is a young woman of Indian appearance who seeks a living as a prostitute by hitchhiking from town to town along the highway. She is picked up by various men, who treat her with varying degrees of crudeness. Along the way we meet other people who talk about how the highway has affected their lives: farmers who saw their land taken from them because they had not documentation of ownership, loggers who did the hard work of blazing the trail only to find the price of wood dropping when the highway came. At the beginning of the film Iracema meets the worldly trucker Tião, who is optimistic about Brazil's progress, and she haggles over her services, starting at 30 cruzeiros. At the end of the film, several mishaps later, Iracema meets Tião again, though he does not recognize her at first. Tião has lost his logging truck and is now transporting cows and making less money than before. Iracema asks for a ride, now asking only 5 cruzeiros, and Tiao leaves her behind. Iracema was filmed in 1975 but was not released commercially until 1981 because of censorship. Iracema is the only major Indian character; the forest's aboriginal inhabitants, who suffered most from the highway, only appear as passing shadows in the onslaught of progress.
