For decades, the movement has challenged Brazil\u2019s extreme concentration of land ownership, demanding agrarian reform, affordable housing and the right to a dignified life in the countryside. In the state of Goi\u00e1s, around 600 families occupy a sugarcane plantation owned by a major corporation, in the heart of a region shaped by agribusiness and monoculture.<br \/>\nFilming from within the camp, Camila Freitas closely observes daily life, following key figures including Grandma, PC and other comrades. The dream of owning land becomes an everyday act of resistance: community meetings, political education, collective decisions, makeshift kitchens, children playing among barricades and the physical labour of turning occupied land into a habitable place. As negotiations drag on and the constant threat of eviction looms, the camp becomes a space of possibility \u2013 for solidarity, food sovereignty and a future beyond the extractive systems that wear down both people and the land.<br \/>\n<strong>Ch\u00e3o<\/strong>\u00a0shows agrarian reform as a lived practice rather than an abstract programme \u2013 and asks the question: who owns the land and who has the right to remain on it? Between hope and exhaustion, the struggle becomes a school for co-existence, sustained by song, labour and mutual care.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Guest: Camila Freitas<\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Awards for \u203aCh\u00e3o\u2039<\/strong><br \/>\nFestival do Rio<br \/>\nOlhar de Cinema<br \/>\nInternational Filmfestival Innsbruck<br \/>\nFestival International Jean Rouch<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":46175,"template":"","movie_year":[20],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[876],"festival":[886],"class_list":["post-46176","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-20","movie_genre-documentary-en","movie_cat-focus-en-2026","festival-886"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Ch\u00e3o - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/chao\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Ch\u00e3o - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Over the course of four years, Ch\u00e3o follows one of Latin America\u2019s largest grassroots movements, the \u00bbMovimento dos Trabalhadores Rurais [...]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/chao\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IFFF.Dortmund.Koeln\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IFFF2026_Chao_4-3_website_01.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1080\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"810\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@frauenfilmfest\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/chao\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/chao\\\/\",\"name\":\"Ch\u00e3o - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/chao\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/chao\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/IFFF2026_Chao_4-3_website_01.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-03-30T09:47:04+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/chao\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/chao\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/en\\\/movie\\\/chao\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/IFFF2026_Chao_4-3_website_01.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/frauenfilmfest.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/03\\\/IFFF2026_Chao_4-3_website_01.jpg\",\"width\":1080,\"height\":810,\"caption\":\"Several people are working in a field.
