- Notes:
- This tale of the peasant uprising in Bahia at the end of the nineteenth century is an excellent example of Furtado's play with genre – in this case, the documentary and the period film – and his use of deadpan irony in the face of violence and cruelty. - Harvard Film Archive. Note: volume is very low on this short.

It's also used by the local people to search for possible resaleable items.
