When the government of a small Latin American country institutes anti-clerical decrees, one priest defies the authorities and continues his work among the peasants. Relentlessly pursued by the police, he is helped to safety across the border - only to turn back to administer the last rites to a dying criminal, and to find himself betrayed.
Based on the novel The Power and the Glory by Graham Greene

"For we Brazilians, this is our moon project"
Settlers and shopkeepers, soldiers and speculators, cowboys and camp-followers - Brazil is moving into the heart of the mighty Amazon. They come in the wake of giant bulldozers. Engineers, working round the clock, are building a road that will eventually join the Atlantic to the Pacific. It is called the Trans-Amazon Highway - the Transamazonica.
Most of these new homesteaders are destitute peasants from the drylands of Brazil's North East: 'They said there was water there, and I said if there is water, I will even go to hell.'
So the Indian is forced to retreat deeper into the forest, and small isolated settlements become overnight boom towns. Meanwhile, enthusiasm is shared by bigger interests. The multi-national corporations are also staking their claim-with Government encouragement.
