“Over several months in 1975, a foreign film crew, led by Thomas Harlan, accompanied the process of occupation of a large estate. Harlan intervened not only as a film director but also as an actor in on-going events. Even if his action was limited to the short time the cooperative existed, it continued in the form of the documentary film that survived him, with all the power of direct cinema.” (José Filipe Costa)
