Nowhere People

Beschreibung

Driving home, Paulo passes an indigenous girl at the side of the road. Paulo gives her a lift to her family's camp. From cocaine-fuelled rich kids and the Guarani Indians camped along Brazil's highways to a squatter's life in London, Nowhere People is a raw and passionate classic in the making, about our need for human connections and a home.
