See this film: Bay of All Saints @ the Brattle

Sometimes two good causes, like housing for the poor and environmental protection, can come into conflict. That sounds like what happens in Bay of All Saints, a documentary about impoverished people in Bahia, Brazil who live in palafitas, hovels on stilts built above the sea of garbage amassing in the bay. The filmmakers spent six years chronicling the hardships of three of the families living there, putting unforgettable faces on the abstract issues and statistics. It screens as part of the DocYard program, with the director Annie Eastman and producer Diane Markow on hand for discussion. It takes place at the Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge | Monday, June 4 @ 8 pm | 617.876.6837 or brattle.org.
