Dry Ground Burning

The film focuses on communal survival and female leadership rather than explicit LGBTQ narratives. Though it doesn't depict non-binary or transgender identities, it challenges traditional gender roles by emphasizing community over individual relationships.

Women play a central role in the film, acting as the main drivers of political and economic change. They redefine social structures through their control of territory and resources, disrupting traditional gender hierarchies.

The film features a predominantly Black cast and uses a decolonial perspective to reclaim the favela and Sertão landscapes. It positions underrepresented communities as the central protagonists of their own history.

The story critiques Western and state institutions by framing clandestine trade as resistance against an authoritarian government. It prioritizes communal survival over established social orders.

There is insufficient evidence to provide a definitive score regarding the representation of visible or invisible disabilities within the film.
