"Luzia"
1988
Directed by Fabio Barreto

A cowgirl is caught in a clash between squatters and the powerful ranch owners in this film set on the vast and beautiful plains of central Brazil.  Luzia stars the alluring Claudia Ohana (one of Brazil's biggest box-office stars: Erendira, Fable of the Beautiful Pigeon Fancier). Luzia's extraordinary rodeo skills and incredible beauty attract the attention of the landowners, whose history of marauding returns to gain revenge. Also starring Thales Pan Chacon, Jose De abreu, and Luiza Falcao. Color. Portuguese with yellow English subtitles. 112 minutes.
