Overview

Scenes from the daily life of Virgulino Ferreira da Silva—the cangaceiro leader Lampião—and his group, captured by cinematographer Benjamin Abrahão. Their survival strategies in the sertão landscape, their gestures, habits, clothing, and diet are illustrated. Proud of their status, the group's main members are shown displaying their weapons and combat skills in the caatinga. Maria Bonita and Lampião appear in moments of tension and relaxation, highlighting the harmony of the band and, above all, the rigors of life as a cangaceiro. (Cinemateca Brasileira)
