The Brazilian inferno

2026-03-03 no 70m
In 1923, a group of rebellious workers from Rjukan, Norway, led their families deep into the Brazilian jungle to build a utopia. Instead, they found ruin, suffering, and catastrophe. One survivor warned those back home, calling it “a hell beyond compare.” A century later, a filmmaker sets out to reconstruct the forgotten story. After many false starts and setbacks, the project becomes a utopia of its own, not an ideal society, but a fragile dream that seems almost impossible to bring to life.
