Saberes do Cerrado : ervas medicinais : projeto de documentário sobre raizeiros de Cuiabá e Baixada Cuiabana

Abstract

This Course Completion Work consists of the development of a documentary project entitled “Saberes do Cerrado: Medicinal Herbs”, which focuses on reports and experiences of five healers and a biologist (who studies medicinal herbs) who live in Cuiabá or other cities. localities of the Cuiabana lowlands. Through previous field research, we found these characters with different realities and peculiarities with the intention that these people could share, in the form of a documentary report, a little about their experiences and work with herbs and medicinal plants. This Course Completion Work consists of bibliographical, documental and filmographic research around issues related to the universe of the razeiros and their knowledge. For the development of the documentary project, the book “Introduction to documentary”, by the American researcher Bill Nichols (2010), was used as the main reference. As a final result of the different stages covered and presented in this TCC for the development of an audiovisual documentary project, we present a suggested script structure for the documentary “Saberes do Cerrado – Medicinal Herbs”.
