South America's geographic giant is polarized due to seemingly endless corruption investigations and a less than optimistic economic recovery.

In an accessible and constructive way, twelve interviewees seek to bring a renewed type of debate about Brazil in the 21st century through broader themes such as corruption, racism and machismo, education, violence, economy, media and culture. Rather than presenting answers, the documentary aims to stimulate reflections on the structural challenges facing the country's reconstructive efforts.

The utopian city of Brasilia is in transition more than half a century later. What is it like to live in someone else's idea? A meditation on living in one of the most planned cities on earth.

Brasilia is unlike any other: a concrete utopia designed by architect Oscar Niemeyer and urbanist Lucio Costa that spawned out of the desert. Featuring a haunting, intimate score and images that take us deep into the city, this documentary brings a human face to the utopian ideal.

This road documentary travels across South America to understand Cartonera book production, finding citizens and cooperatives committed to using literary production as a means of fighting for social justice, economic equality, and a more sustainable world.

Cartonera publishers are proponents of a salvage economy. They handcraft their books out of recycled materials, often bought straight from Cartoneros, people who make their living by collecting cardboard and selling it to recycle plants. This method not only allows unknown authors to be published, but also supports environmental sustainability and the democratization of literature by involving the help of Cartoneros in the production process and making the books available to people at prices significantly lower than those of conventional publishing houses.
