The development of the documentary Mãos à Terra began in 2018, as an initiative of a group of FAE attendees, mainly linked to cinema and visual arts. The relationship with the Fair began to deepen in 2012, with the production of the short film called “Do you know where your food comes from?”. The transformative power of documentary, of listening, of knowing the stories and the paths that food takes until it reaches our plates moves our desire to expand this theme. Ecological awareness and healthy eating can stop being a privilege and become a right for everyone.

The film is being produced independently and, over the past three years, has had the support of stallholders and FAE attendees, through crowdfunding. We are currently in the final stages, financed with resources from the Sedac Notice No. 01/2022 FAC Filma RS – Culture Support Fund – Pró-cultura RS FAC, Law No. 13,490/10.
