The Salt of the Earth Page #6

He did not know the northeast.

He had always dreamed of northeastern Brazil.

I met these people on a funeral.

I parked on the side of the road and went with them.

Infant mortality was very high in the northeast of Brazil.

These are children who died before baptism.

It is believed that unbaptized children

They have no right to go to heaven.

They stay in a region between both worlds, called limbo.

Children buried with his eyes closed, they were baptized.

If his eyes were open ...

and they buried him to find his way.

Otherwise, it was wandering for eternity.

At that time, the coffins were rented in the church.

Rent the coffin was cheaper.

The same coffin was used dozens of times.

This is perfectly seen the coffins to rent ...

and these are shoes.

He sold everything: shoes, coffins, bananas, vegetables,

ice cream, all ...

It is an area of ??the world where life and death are very close.

Here is a prayer group

exerting political work at the same time.

In Brazil, we had and still have

a great movement of landless peasants.

Many of them, the majority come from here.

Proviene del northeast of Brazil.

They are people

a great moral force,

great physical strength,

despite being very fragile because they eat poorly.

Look at the dryness of the area. It is very dry.

Why so, we have a piece of Sahel here in Brazil.

And here in the street,

people leave for good.

Sometimes the land is so dry, so hard,

people migrate to cities in the south.

They give up, leave the land.

FARM SALGALO:

MINAS GERAIS, BRAZIL

We have spent many years suffering a shortage of rain.

Here we had many cattle.

Now we have nothing, it's over.

The drought was great.

He finished with pastures, ended income.

How it ended, Grandpa? Why it's over?

It ended because of the drought.

He stood around, but no one saw or a grass grow.

Now we just have time.

Between your father and I,

20,000 invested in that.

Where you are?

Here he abounded all.

There were many birds many sparrows.

Canarios, tico-ticos,

zorzales ...

There on the hill, there was a good kill.

And in that summit also he had a very good head.

There is much erosion.

Now, for example, the land is bonded.

If rains come, there no grass, nothing,

to hold, cause a disaster.

I have no idea ...

to know how to stop erosion.

He grandfather, he was in the hacienda happy?

If I was in this hacienda happy?

?Si was happy?

I was happy to have my children.

with six career as Tiao.

to take my children to school.

All were raised with good nutrition

with good clothes.
