Inspired by real events: Pureza is a story of resilience, justice and love. After 6 months without news from her son, Abel, who had left for the gold mines in southern Pará, Pureza departs from her native town, with nothing but the clothes on her body and few savings kept in a purse. She retraces Abel's journey and ends up finding a system that lures and entraps rural workers. Fighting against a perverse system of entrenched interests and corruption, her denunciations finally push the Brazilian government into action to combat the scourge of modern slavery.
