O Caldeirão da Santa Cruz do Deserto (direction of Rosemberg Cariry, 1987) is a movie that tells the story of the Caldeirão's community massacre in Ceará - Brazil, in 1937. After the death of the popular saint Padre Cícero Romao Batista in 1934, the local forces unite to delete the records from this collective and subversive experience. The testimonies of survivors and those who were involved in the massacre lead the movie and the composition connects us to two important moments: the period of the Vargas dictatorship, when the community is destroyed; and the year in which the film is produced, which is tuned to the beginning of the Brazils re-democratization where the agendas of the movements of people who had no access to land make pressure inside the national politics. The movie touches on the issue of our post-colonial citizenship and non-official histories of violence that accompany this and other regions of Brazil.
