“After five hours of marching, an army of more than 12,000 peasants, about 3,000 families, breaks through the gates of Giacometi plantation, a gigantic latifundio that is typical of Brazil, and claims the 250,000 acres of land. The Giacometi plantation is big enough to install more than 4,000 families and provide more than 8,000 jobs.”
