Du Chocolat Pour Sauver l'Amazonie
Genres
Overview
The Amazon is the river of superlatives: the longest - 7,025 km, the most powerful, the most indomitable - no dam possible over hundreds of kilometres. Its waters cross the largest tropical forest in the world: the Amazon, “the lungs of the earth”. Going against the current of this gigantism, this documentary is betting on approaching this extraordinary natural space through one of its tiniest productions: the cocoa bean. Scientists, chocolate makers, producers and farmers, many are those who, faced with the deforestation of this unique ecosystem, use this chocolate seed to recreate, on a small scale, human exploitations in harmony with nature. This film tells us about the fight of those who decided to make cocoa the spearhead of environmental defense in Brazil.

Favela Government
Brazil's "Red Command" drug cartel is considered a plague by the government. But for the people of the favelas they control, Red Command *is* the government. They’re the de facto leadership of the area. The gang has taken over the role of the authorities in their shanty towns, where the state has long abandoned them. Away Days got special access to the Rio favelas, hanging out out with young foot-soldiers, speaking to commanders, and seeing how civilians live between the gangs and the equally violent police militias.

Mountain Maker
A journey into the interior of garbage, contemplated as a phenomenon of the human spirit, and not only as a product of human action. This essay-documentary, inspired by modern chaos theory, transits between the reality of statements and the surrealism of poetic images, seeking to integrate the conscious and unconscious life of the human mind. Apparently simple phenomena hide very complex behaviors. Maybe garbage is all that we don't want to see
