It's a documentary about the socio – environmental impacts in the sugar cane monoculture in the brazilian middle-west, where a bioma called "cerrado" is found. This bioma is almost in extinction due to deforestation that has been done for the last years in order to raise cattle and for soy monoculture.this bioma's kind of plants are extremely rich in medicinal plant species, with plants tha provide active principles for the cure of lots of diseases, although lots of them have not been catalogued yet. Nowadays only 30% of this kind of forest has been left in brazil, the other 70% have already been deforestated. With sugar cane mono culture advances in the "cerrado" region, mainly in goiás, we are running the risk of losing the little amount of it left.
