Garapa plot

José Padilha penetratingly documents how the problem of chronic hunger affects three families in present-day Brazil. Rosa, Robertina and Lucia live in different areas, but all struggle with the daily battle against acute malnutrition, which leads them to feed their children only 'garapa' (a mix of water and sugar lozenge). With this documentary, Padilha gives a human face to the global hunger crisis due to excessive food prices.
