Estrutural

The result of more than ten years of research and using archival material, photos and videos recorded by the residents themselves, during conflicts that took place in the 1990s, this documentary addresses important facts for the then invasion of Estrutural. Begun in the 1960s, almost simultaneously with the construction of Brasília, this invasion arose on the outskirts of what is now the largest open-air dump in Latin America. Residents, politicians and military personnel present their views on the past and present of the community, in a synthesis of the process of urbanization in the Federal District.
