A Procura dos Vingados

Born in a land of blood, Carol returns to her home territory to seek secrets from Brazil’s biggest peasant war. The Contestado War decimated more than 20 thousand caboclos. In massacres, children were chased away by the Brazilian army to be killed by the cold, hunger and the forest. Many of them ‘came out’ and survived. And they experience the erasure of their history for generations in Brazilian history. “The Search for the Avenged” is a powerful story, still unpublished, not recorded in any research, audiovisual or other form of documentation other than this project. A story of survival, of children who took revenge in a war that has had its consequences on their families and territory to this day.
