No Vazio do Ar

Into the Void of Air

In an attempt to understand what lies behind someone wanting to be a pilot in the Amazon, a poorly paid and often fatal activity, the author decides to return to the tiny airport where her uncle used to fly, 30 years after his death. As the airstrip seems to slide into obscurity, the pilots tell us about the precariousness, prejudice, and criminality in the skies that cover the rainforest.
