Synopsis:
On November 5, 2015, in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais, a dam holding back toxic mining waste collapsed. Forty million cubic meters of poisonous sludge poured into the Rio Doce—the country’s fifth-largest river basin. Traveling 650 km to the Atlantic Ocean, this vile wave destroyed and contaminated all forms of life. This film is an encounter with those who lost everything—those known as *os atingidos*, the victims of the disaster.
