The Welles Raft

In the midst of World War II, a group of Brazilian fishermen faced an unexpected threat to their livelihoods and way of life. As Orson Welles filmed his ill-fated movie "It's All True" in 1942, the fishermen found themselves caught up in a struggle for survival as their traditional fishing grounds became a target for real estate speculation. Against the backdrop of the dictatorship of Estado Novo, they fought for their rights and the future of their community. "The Welles Raft" tells their story, a powerful and poignant documentary that sheds light on a little-known chapter in Brazil's history.
