Two cultures divided by the jungle.
Brazilians like Joanna, coming from all parts of Brazil and Americans Workers like Mitchel, sent by Ford from the US, would give birth to this gigantic population of unfrightened men who were not afraid to die facing the dangers of the jungle. Despite their financial incentive, way above the average, they would follow Henry Ford aspirations. Ford was already considered "the new Messiah of the Jungle" and Man would risk their lives trying to survive in the jungle.
A full adventure of real and historical events, as well as the construction of the railway Madeira Mamore, that would be one of the largest and developments made by human hands in the heart of the huge Amazon.
Henry Ford has invested more than $ 30 million between the years 1928 to 1945, employed about 6,000 workers per month, with the idea of planting and extracting latex from rubber trees. Curioulsly the plant never produced one drop of rubber, for the anxious production lines in Detroit.
Riots, hundreds of deaths, disillusionment and the tireless American oppression, marked the course of this, in the words of Ford "one of his biggest projects".
This unexpected combination of fictions and facts in beautiful movie that will address a historical past through the most sublime and indivisible feeling, a love that crossed generations and presented a new understanding of our memories, our emotions and what we really look for, a forever on another life!
