These women and these men that we call the "Without Land" ("Sem Terra") militate for an equitable land reform for all. They strongly defend an ideology strongly tainted by Marxism-Leninism and Christianity which would make it possible for each one to cultivate a plot of land taken off the immense properties that a handful of powerful men hold and refuse to yield to the poorest. Today, the majority of them live without any income, inside sordid huts covered with plastic, without water nor electricity. Only some ONG, like Doctors of the World with whom I produced this report, help by giving them a significant material and psychological support. Within the "Without Land", where there is a strong will to overcome misery and injustice, an extraordinary solidarity is a daily occurence. It is this force of character and this thirst for justice that François Fontaine wanted to capture on the faces of these peasants "Without Land", in the heart of the shanty towns in which they try to survive.
