    • Synopsis
    • After an environmental disaster in Minas Gerais, a Brazilian geographer returns home committed to unveiling how mining has both shaped and harmed her native region and its inhabitants. IRONLAND is a hybrid film, where the main character interacts with real people and situations. A road movie about belonging and identity; about losing a world and trying to recover it.
