Synopsis

It is possible to talk about the life trajectory of any person based on keywords. Among the keywords most highlights of Sebastião Severo Frota, we can choose one: construction. Still young, Sobralense was one of the thousands of workers who poured sweat and blood into the foundations what would become the capital of Brazil. The search for a better life, for adventure, for the construction of a more dignified, took Sebastião, his brother and friends to go to the heart of the country, without even knowing what was waiting for them. Many ended their days in the Midwestern heat Brazilians, whether victims of accidents at work, modern slavery, violence employed by large landowners, in short, did not find the better life promised by the numerous government advertisements. But when (re)building his memoirs about that chapter in his history (and the history of Brazil), Sebastião, at the age of 99, still shows an excellent builder. Every wall of your narrative is based on strong foundations of clear knowledge of history, but not the one you learn from books, but the one that lives.
