Synopsis

Fires ravaged Brazil's Pantanal biome from 2018 to 2021, impacting over 30% of the region due to agribusiness activities. Felippe Mussel's experimental film uses a sound spectrogram of these fires to reveal a fragment of the Ecuadorian constitution. This constitution grants nature the same rights as humans. The film runs for seven minutes and presents a unique auditory experience that intertwines environmental destruction with legal recognition of nature's rights.
