âA BR Ă© como a vida, tu entende?â
Four researchers record their perceptions as they walk through the patch of the BR-116 that goes through Canoas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, looking for characters whoâve had their lives connected throughout the highway. The BR-116, the largest road in Brazil, crosses 10 states and connects Fortaleza to the municipality of JaguarĂŁo, at the Uruguayan border, while also going through Canoas, splitting the city in two. The documentary brings testimonies from different people who share their life stories. âA Highway Movieâ (2025) is the work that concludes Wender Zanonâs trilogy on Canoas, which starts with âThis Is Canoas, Not Poaâ (2021), followed by âEssays on a cityâ (2024).
