Coração em Brasa

Heart Ablaze follows Guto and Cubano, two public information officers at Prevfogo/Ibama, through a full wildfire season. From the Pantanal to the Amazon, the film shows the effort the country mobilises every dry season: air tankers, convoys of water trucks, boats in the Pantanal and federal, Indigenous and quilombola firefighters facing the flames up close.

Told in the first person, like the diary of a soldier in this yearly war. Access comes from the friendship between the director and the protagonists, together with dialogue with Ibama.
