A life in Good Time
A Film By Sandra Werneck
Based on the book
Marina - A Vida Por Uma Causa
By Marília de Camargo César
Presentation
There are women who follow their destiny, and for this reason are
successfull. There are women who fight against their destiny, and for this
reason are exceptional.
The story of Maria Osmarina Marina Silva Vaz de Lima, or simply Marina
Silva, challenges the limits of fiction.
Born on February 8th, 1958, in the small community of Breu Velho,
inSeringal Bagaço (Bagaço Rubber Tree Plantation), in Acre, Brazil, Marina
Silva fought since early childhood against her fate doomed to poverty,
diseases, illiteracy, oppression and exclusion in all senses of the words. Her
parents had 11 children, of which eight survived.
She was a true girl from the Amazon jungle, who would wake up at 4 AM,
cut some twigs and branches, take some pieces of rubber, light a fire, make
coffee and an egg with banana salad for breakfast.
There are women
who follow their
destiny and manage
to succeed. There are
women who fight
against their destiny,
they are exceptional.
Illiterate up until the age of 16, and victim of several diseases (three
hepatitis, five malarias and one case of leishmaniasis), the frail young girl
moved to the state capital, Rio Branco, and started to change her life. Ten
years later, she concluded her college education and dared to exchange
her religious vocation for political-social-environmental activities.
Partner in arms with Chico Mendes, Marina was elected to the offices of
city councilwoman, state deputy and state senator.
During the Lula da Silva administration, she was Minister of the Environment,
and, in the last presidential election, she came in third place, with almost 20
million votes and a political platform marked by ethics and the commitment
to sustainable development for all - in both Brazil and abroad.
Based on the book Marina, a vida por uma causa, by Marília de Camargo
César, director Sandra Werneck intends to film this unique saga – both
dramatic and touching, of regional and universal scope - of one of the
greatest, internationally renowned political leaders in the country.
Sandra Werneck’s movie will depict Marina’s childhood in the rubber tree
plantation, the most important facts of her personal and political history
up until her nomination for the 2009 Sofia award, in Oslo, granted every
year by the Sophie Foundation to the people and organizations that most
stand out in the areas of environmental and sustainable development.
Marina counts on renowned professionals in its technical team, such as
screenwriter Melanie Dimantas, director of photography Walter Carvalho,
art director Cláudio Amaral Peixoto, wardrobe designed by Kika Lopes, film
editor Sérgio Meckler and soundtrack by Jaques Morelenbaum. The movie
has José Joffily as delegate producer and Caique Ferreira as executive
producer.
Synopsis
The movie starts with the poor girl who used to go to the forests in the
early mornings to collect some lops. Marina lost her mother at the age of
15 and, one year later, she gave her first – and, maybe, the most important
– step to change her life: she asked her father the permission to go to the
capital (Rio Branco) for treating the first hepatitis she had, studying and
dedicate to the religious life.
Marina worked as housemaid to be able to support herself and study. She
was a dedicated student: ten years after being literate by the Mobral, she
graduated in History.
Decided to follow her religious vocation, she entered into a convent. However, during a mass, the eyes of the young novice were caught by a poster calling for a course of rural leadership given by Clodovis Boff (Leonardo Boff’s brother) and Chico Mendes. The young girl got curious, followed
her intuition and attended to the course.
This was the second great step to the turnover in Marina’s life. When she
met Chico Mendes, an environmental leader, the Liberation Theology ideas
and the Basic Ecclesial Communities, Marina felt like her religious vocation
was replaced with a strong and irreversible vocation in the social segment,
focusing mainly on the environment. In 1984, she was one of the founders
of the Unified Workers’ Central (Central Única dos Trabalhadores – CUT)
in Acre, which had Chico Mendes as its first coordinator and the young
Marina as vice-coordinator.
Living with Chico Mendes meant an intense learning in several ways. Besides sharing the same ideals, Mari¬na considered him as master in the
politics art – he used to listen to the others, be open to different opinions,
but he was also very firm and determined about essential issues.
The frail jungle girl
becomes a powerful,
internationally
renowned political
leader. Married,
mother of four,
Marina struggles to
conciliate her public
and private life, just as
every other woman.
Together with Chico Mendes, Marina participated intensely in the defense of the interests of the Amazon forest and the poor population. The
brutal death of the environmental leader in 1988 further strengthened
her principles and the ethical and ideological posture she would follow
throughout her life.
Affiliated to the Workers’ Party (PT), she was elected in 1988 as the most
voted city councilwoman of Rio Branco, at the age of 30. In 1990, she was
elected state deputy, with record voting. In 1994, at the age of 36, she arrived in Brasília as the youngest senator in the history of the Republic, being
reelected in 2002. In the Senate, she was the first politician to defend the
reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, a goal subsequently adopted by
the Executive Branch in 2009.
Invited by President Lula, she was appointed Minister of the Environment
in 2003, where she defended, among other causes, the promotion of
sustainable development. She resigned from office in 2008 and, in 2010,
launched her candidacy to the Presidency of the Republic under the Green
Party, obtaining more than 19 million votes. An unquestionable victory,
responsible, among other things, for forcing the presidential dispute to a
second round.
The frail jungle girl became a powerful, internationally renowned political
leader. Married, mother of four, Marina struggles to conciliate her public
and private life, just as every other woman.
Marina intends to tell the history of the Brazilian woman Marina Silva,
who fought against her fate of exclusion to become, in many aspects,
a personality way ahead of her time. Despite having been born in the
interior of the country – or, maybe, because of this –, she developed the
belief that the world will only be a better place if the living, health and environmental conditions are improved throughout the world. Never has a
country girl become so universal. That is what the movie intends to reveal.
Justification
and Goals
“This story of courage, overcoming of adversities and determination has
to be told to the largest number of people possible. Examples are made to
be followed. And a movie is still the best way to tell good story: due to its
format, its reach and the emotional impact that only a movie screen can
convey”.
This is how director Sandra Werneck defines her effort to take to the screen the unique and victorious path of Marina Silva in her almost 30 years
of public life. Firm defender of ethics, sustainable development, and large
scale valorization of natural resources, the jungle girl became a respected
leadership in both the national and international scenarios.
Despite the political trajectory, the movie’s main focus is
on Marina’s trajectory as a human being, which, for several reasons, found, in politics, the most adequate way to
convey her ideas and produce changes
“I have been following Marina’s life for quite some time. Her struggles,
courage, honesty, perseverance – and the ethical behavior that characterizes her. As a personality, a leader and a politician”, says Sandra Werneck, a
director with several movies directed to the female universe.
Marina’s victorious path highlights a rare value in today’s public life: her
loyalty to her origins, ideas and beliefs.
“This story of
courage, overcoming
of adversities and
determination has to
be told to the largest
number of people
possible. Examples are
made to be followed.
And a movie is still
the best way to tell a
good story”...
This is and will always be Marina: frail but strong like the rubber trees of
the village in which she was born; religious but a firm defender of tolerance; rigorous and intransigent as far as her principles, but also open to
dialog and to the exchange of ideas. Calm and controlled in manner, an
exemplary listener, but also a highly convincing speaker, due mainly to her
sincerity.
Marina can and must accomplish several tasks: reveal the more contemporary issues in an accessible manner to the public by means of a gentle
Brazilian warrior, presenting the environmentalist, historian and teacher,
aware of both regional and universal values.

Sandra Werneck
Director and Producer
Sandra Werneck was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on May 5th, 1951. She is one of
the most successful directors of the new wave of filmmakers that came to light with
the recovery of the Brazilian film industry in the 90’s. Her first fiction feature film,
Little Book of Love (1996), fascinated both the public and the critics by innovating
Rio de Janeiro’s romantic comedy genre, and was awarded with the best screenplay
prize at the Festival Internacional de Cine de Cartagena (Colombia, 1998); the special critic’s prize at the Shermi d’Amore – Festival del Cinema Sentimental e Mélo de
Verona (Italy, 1997); the best film prize at the Miami Film Festival (1997); the best
photography and best editing prizes at the Festival de Brasilia (1996).
Her following film, Possible Loves, another incursion into the romantic comedy genre, would attain the same level of success. The film won the best Latin American
award at the World Cinema section at Sundance/2001. Irene Ravache was awarded
with the best actress prize at the Brazilian Film Festival of Miami in 2001 and the
film won the prizes for best direction, best photography, best screenplay and second
best film at the 1st Cinema & Video Festival of the Amazon (2001).
However, Ms. Werneck’s career started long before that, making
socially oriented documentaries. Pena Prisão, a film that represented Brazil
in the “Cinéma du Réel” film festival at the Georges Pompidou Center (Paris, 1984),
won the public and best editing prizes at the 18th edition of the Festival de Brasília
in 1984; Damas da Noite (1987) was awarded with the public prize for best film at
Rio Cine Festival; Children’s War (1991) was nominated for the ACE AWARDS and
won the following prizes: best film and best direction at the Gramado Film Festival;
the Jury’s Special Prize at the Documentary Film Festival of Amsterdam (1991); the
OCIC and best documentary film directed by a woman prizes at the Havana Film
Festival (1991); best documentary film at the Uppsala Film Festival – Sweden (1992)
and was elected the best film for children and adolescents at the 27th International
Youth Film Contest, in Germany.
In 1992, she directed the controversial short Pornography together with Murilo Salles.
The feature film “Cazuza - Time doesn’t stop”, in which Sandra shares the direction
with the awarded cinematographer Walter Carvalho, was the largest box office of
the Brazilian cinema in 2004 and won best film and best actor at the New York Film
Festival amongst many other prizes.
Her documentary “Teen Mothers” follows the daily lives of four young girls for a
whole year, during their pregnancy.
Sandra released in April 2010 her last feature, Stolen Dreams, where you can join the
lives of young girls living in the outskirts of the city, who find in prostitution a mean
of survival. The film was chosen by the audience as the best fiction in the Festival
do Rio, where Nanda Costa won the best actress prize. It also won acting prizes in
the 14º Brazilian Film Festival of Miami – Inffinito, Birritz Festival and the Brazilian
Cinema Festival in Paris.

international festivals, earning awards in Belgium, at the Guadalajara Festival, and many others in Brazil.
Over the past years, CINELUZ produced various feature films, which obtained rave reviews. Cazuza, Time Doesn’t Stop was Brazil’s box office hit in
2004 and was awarded more than 30 prizes at festivals in Brazil and worldwide. Possible Loves was a prize winner at the Sundance Festival (2001)
and at the Miami Film Festival (2001). The company’s first feature film,
Little Book of Love, received prizes at various festivals, achieving great
popularity among critics and audiences. Sandra’s last film was Stolen Dreams (2009), awarded in Rio’s Int’l Film Festival, in Biarritz Festival, Inffinito

Ref.: Audiovisual Project Marina and the Time
Dear Madam,
Following our recent conversations about the production of the audiovisual cinematographic work named Marina
and the time, we confirm the Downtown Filmes interest in investing R$ 2.000.000,00 (two million reais) in the
