PUREZA
"Pureza" is a Brazilian drama inspired by true events that follows the story of an indomitable mother who fights to save her son and exposes the inhumane working conditions in remote areas of the Amazon. The main character is Pureza (Dira Paes), a woman living a modest life in the countryside. When her son Abel disappears while looking for work, Pureza embarks on a dangerous journey to find him.
Her search takes her into the heart of the Amazon jungle, where she discovers labor camps where workers live in slave-like conditions. Pureza stands up to the powerful and corruption to save her son while alerting the world to the horrors of modern slavery.
The film 'Pureza' not only offers a powerful story full of emotions and suspense, but also opens up important social issues related to human rights, exploitation and the resilience of the human spirit. The cast, especially Dira Paes in the lead role, is exceptional and adds authenticity and depth to the film. "Pureza" is a powerful and inspiring story of courage, love and perseverance in the fight for justice.
