Barefoot on Red Soil(2014)

Barefoot on Red Soil is a series following Pere Casaldàliga, a Catalan bishop who arrives in São Félix do Araguaia, Brazil, determined to champion the rights of indigenous peoples and the poor. Confronting powerful landowners and systemic injustice, Casaldàliga challenges the Catholic Church's traditional role in the region, advocating for a faith rooted in social action rather than institutional comfort. The drama explores his moral conviction against entrenched economic interests and his struggle to reshape the Church's mission in one of Brazil's most contested frontiers. Grounded in real events, the series examines faith, activism, and the personal cost of standing against corruption and exploitation in a land where survival itself is a daily battle.
