In 1942, Orson Welles was in Brazil filming his documentary It's All True about Carnival and the Jangadeiros (Brazillian fishermen) when the raft of the leader of the Jangadeiros, Manuel Jacaré, swallowed by the sea.
The fact evokes memories of the dictatorship of the Estado Novo, of World War II, of Ceará fishermen's struggle for labor rights and housing in their traditional space - target of real estate speculation.
