Together we will embark on a historical journey alongside journalist Matheus Boa Sorte through the farms of the interior of Rio de Janeiro, the heart of the coffee cycle in 19th century Brazil. We will discover the magnificent architecture, the stories of a past marked by coffee production and the transition to modern sustainable agricultural practices. This documentary reveals the economic, cultural and environmental importance of these farms, reflecting on the sad legacy of slavery and the legacy that remains alive to this day. Together we will visit the following farms in the Vale do Café: 1) Fazenda Cachoeira Grande: Located in Vassouras, this farm is a magnificent example of the coffee era, preserving its architecture and stories from a time when coffee production dominated the Brazilian economy. 2) Fazenda Aliança: Located in Barra do Piraí, it stands out for its current sustainable and organic approach, preserving history while adapting to modern agricultural practices. 3) Fazenda do Paraíso: A farm that keeps the memory of the coffee cycle alive, with its original structures and a museum dedicated to the era. 4) Fazenda São Luís da Boa Sorte: In Vassouras, this farm offers a glimpse into life during the coffee boom, with its preserved facilities and fascinating stories. 5) Fazenda Vista Alegre: Known for its innovations and for promoting education and culture among its workers, including the orchestra formed by freed slaves. 6) Fazenda São João da Prosperidade: Represents a vivid example of the legacy of coffee and slavery, with production that was once sustained by a large number of slaves. #ValedoCofé #HistóriaBrasileira #TourismRural ===================== WHO IS MATHEUS BOA SORTE? I am passionate about the cultural traditions of the Brazilian Northeast. To be more specific, the backlands, which I argue is much more than a corner of Brazil with little rain. For me, the backlands are a feeling, a state of mind, of those who carry within themselves the Smile, the Faith, the Persistence, the Courage and a little bit of mischief. I am an advertising professional by academic training, and I pay my bills through art. I am a singer, composer, writer, speaker, educator, actor, TV host, radio host... A lot of things, right? But I can sum it all up in just one job: I AM A STORYTELLER.
