Gold miners from the Serra Pelada gold mine, in Brazil, famous for having more than 200,000 men working on an open pit during the 80s. Most of those men left everything behind pursuing the dream to get rich but ended up with nothing and now fight to get some sort of compensation. The mine was closed in 1987 by the Brazilian Government due to environmental concerns.
