Spirit of defiance

Brazil's landless movement, the MST, is staging a 300km
march to the capital Brasilia to call for accelerated land
reform.

Under the banner of the MST, peasants and workers stage mass
land occupations to appropriate fertile but unproductive
tracts of land.

They use murals, mosaics and monuments to capture the spirit
of defiance and self-emancipation which drives one of South
America's largest and most ambitious social movements.
