Volta Redonda is a Brazilian steel town founded in the 1940s by
dictator Getulio Vargas on an ex-coffee valley as a powerful symbol
of Brazilian modernization. The city's economy, and consequently
its citizen's lives, revolves around the Companha Siderurgica
Nacional (CSN), the biggest industrial complex in Latin America.
Although the glory days of the CSN have long passed, the company
still controls life in Volta Redonda today, creating as much
dispossession as wealth for the community. Brazilian Steel Town
tells the story of the people tied to this ailing giant - of their
fears, hopes, and everyday struggles.
