Chão documents MST’s processes of land occupation and the battles to gain rights to land in the state of Goiás between 2014 and 2018. MST’s mobilization practices since the emergence of the Movement in 1984 have been much informed by Paulo Freire’s emancipatory pedagogy. The Movement’s historically situated social action constructs knowledge about reality at the same time that it changes reality. The documentary is an example of participatory media production in which the filmmaker and the militants constructed a narrative together from their different perspectives. This participatory process is used here as a departure point to discuss the experiential dynamics of the conscientization process from the different perspectives of research, media production, and militancy. %K MST %K Brazil %K social movements %K Chão %K Brasil %K movimientos sociales %~ Universidad de Cádiz
