“Iron Society – The Structure of Things” analyses the criminal tragedies of Mariana and Brumadinho, revealing the deep connection between mining companies and public authorities in the state of Minas Gerais. Based on the visionary poem “The World Machine” (1951), by the great Minas Gerais poet Carlos Drummond de Andrade, and testimonies from contemporary thinkers and activists, the documentary delves deep into the dark history of iron ore mining in Brazil and its connections with so called Globalization, with the current model of extreme consumerism and global exploitation, exposing a complex and wide panorama of events that underlies transnational corporate capitalism.
