Pequeno filme sobre a experiência agroecológica de alguns agricultores do Assentamento Humaitá, Porto Acre/AC produzido em 2002 pelo Projeto Arboreto,
setor do Parque Zoobotânico, da Universidade Federal do Acre. Duração 9m35s.

Foi em um dia frio e chuvoso em São Paulo Z/S que entrevistamos o Fernando em sua casa no Parque América – Grajaú. Na mesma rua onde ficava a casa que originou o Coletivo Germinal. Sob o aconchego de sua morada, estávamos bem recebidos pra uma prosa que contou a história deste grupo e de outros rolês.

Fernando Oliveira da Costa, tem 29 anos. É Professor de Sociologia da rede Pública e estudante de pós graduação em História. Contou sobre os primeiro contato com o punk ainda quando era adolescente. E destacaremos aqui um trecho da entrevista onde Fernando conta como foi o início do Coletivo Germinal.  

On the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic, tourists flock to pristine beaches, with little knowledge that a few miles away thousands of dispossessed Haitians are under armed guard on plantations harvesting sugarcane, most of which ends up in US kitchens. Cutting cane by machete, they work 14 hour days, 7 days a week, frequently without access to decent housing, electricity, clean water, education, healthcare or adequate nutrition. The Price of Sugar follows a charismatic Spanish priest, Father Christopher Hartley, as he organizes some of this hemisphere's poorest people, challenging the powerful interests profiting from their work. This film raises key questions about where the products we consume originate, at what human cost they are produced and ultimately, where our responsibility lies. Written by Louise Rosen Ltd.
