Two activist lawyers try to stop Shell building a massive oil terminal in Brazil.

synopsis

Oil giant Shell is building a new port complex in Brazil, called Porto Central, that will be big enough to accommodate the largest tankers in the world. In the process, it is destroying biodiversity and violating the way of life of small-scale fishing communities. In an act of defiance, two young activist lawyers -- Paloma Costa from Brazil and Nine de Pater from the Netherlands -- try to stop the construction of the port and Shell’s oil drilling. Bringing together these two stories shows how the relationship between politics, powerful organisations and citizens is more than ever on a knife’s edge.
