Four lads born and raised in São Paulo set off to Amazon-based state of Acre. The movie brings up a contemporary picture of the local "acreano" people and its culture. As a classic road movie, it steps in a journey that wraps up genuine characters with iconic scenarios. As a result, the content shows things from the state history to the Santo Daime ceremony, passing through indigenous tribes and the outstanding lessons given by the prominent enviromentalist Chico Mendes, as well as the "Rubber Soldiers" and Acre in its current days. The documentary emphasizes this mutual finding between the ones that arrive there and the ones that already live there.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
