The Welles Raft

2022
Documentary | 23 June 2022
Orson Welles, Helena Ignez, Grande Otelo
The raft man Manuel Jacaré was swallowed by the sea when Orson Welles was filming It's All True in 1942. The fact evokes memories of the dictatorship of the Estado Novo, of World War II, of Ceará fishermen's struggle for labor rights and housing in their traditional space - target of real estate speculation.
