Bay of All Saints

Bay of All Saints is a documentary film by Annie Eastman and produced by Diane Markrow and Davis Coombe about the conditions of families who live in a community of palafitas in Salvador, Bahia. Palafitas are shacks built on stilts in the ocean bay inhabited by generations of poor families. The families of this community confront forced relocation as a government program works to reclaim the bay to restore the ecology of the bay. The story profiles three single mother households and is told from the perspective of Norato, a local refrigerator repairman.
