The documentary ‘Women of the waters’ tells the life and struggles of fishers in the mangrove swamps of northeastern Brazil. The way of life and the survival of their families are threatened by pollution caused by large industries and the predatory tourism that cause damage to the mangrove ecosystem, where numerous marine species reproduce. In this review, the production is analyzed from the perspective of the debates about race relations, gender, sense of community and working conditions. Furthermore, the documentary shows the engagement of theses workers for the sake of preservation of fishery territories, where the main economic activity in the communities to which they belong is concentrated.
