Iracema, Uma Transa Amazônica
Movie • 1975
ReportA girl from the countryside goes to the city of Belém to take part in the Círio de Nazaré celebrations. Led to prostitution, she wishes to move to the wealthiest Southeast region of Brazil. In a dance club, she meets a truck driver that transports wood. Dreaming with the big city, she asks for a ride, and the two begin a journey through the Trans-Amazon road. In tension with the Brazilian military authorities of the time, the film registers several aspects of the Amazon social tragedy – forest fires, slave work and child prostitution. Awarded in several international festivals, the film was forbidden by the Brazilian censorship. It was only released years later, winning the Brasília Film Festival in 1981.

Infelizmente, sim. A protagonista, uma menor, é sexualizada (evidentemente, a atriz que fez a personagem também era uma menor na época). O filme traz essa sexualização com o intuito de representar, de maneira crítica, uma realidade daquele momento naquela região do país. Obviamente, não deixa de ser questionável.
Unfortunately, yes. The protagonist, a minor, is sexualized (evidentially, the actress that portrays the character was also a minor at the time). The film sexualizes this character with the goal of portraying, in a critical lense, the reality of the time and place where the story occurs, though that obviously doesn’t prevent it from being ethically objectionable.
