Shall we go check over there to see if this water's boiling?
Desconhecido
0:11
The water here doesn't boil, you know?
Desconhecido
0:20
It came out top quality.
Desconhecido
0:22
In a few months you'll see us planting and you'll say, 'They were right — they said it and did it.'
Renan Santos

The project is very smart.
Renan Santos

About: install solar panels to pump water and reduce dependence on water trucks
To end dependence on the water truck and on the politician who brings the water truck, we brought solar panels, which provide the power that goes to the pump that will draw water from down there.
Why it was classified this way · 85% confidence Claims own action ('a gente trouxe painéis solares') as a technical solution.
Renan Santos
0:40
Oh, oh, oh. So, people kept making up conspiracy theories.
Renan Santos
0:45
Usually that scoundrel Nando Moura, but there was also that scoundrel Glauber.
Renan Santos
0:47
But let's go, just so you understand.
Renan Santos
0:49
This water — the community isn't here.
Renan Santos
0:52
The community is far away.
Renan Santos
0:53
There are no houses here.
Renan Santos
0:56
This water is to farm this whole area here, see. And it goes over there.
Renan Santos
1:01
We're going to plant.
Renan Santos
1:02
We've already started, look. They've started clearing with the excavator.
Renan Santos
1:05
This February the planting starts as we planned.
Renan Santos
1:10
Morique, when do we start putting in the seedlings?
Desconhecido
1:13
We'll finish the earthmoving there, I think in 15 days at most.
Desconhecido
1:17
After that we start preparing the soil for planting.
Desconhecido
1:20
And what are the first crops?
Desconhecido
1:21
Ah, it'll be vegetables.
Desconhecido
1:22
It'll be lettuce, cilantro, cauliflower, parsley.
Desconhecido
1:26
All those vegetables.
Renan Santos
1:27
Crops that grow quickly, with quick turnover and added value.
Desconhecido
1:30
Yes, a high added value.
Desconhecido
1:31
Vegetables, right?
Desconhecido
1:32
Lettuce is 30 days, for example.
Desconhecido
1:34
You harvest it, put it on the market, sell it, it will start generating money right away.
Renan Santos
1:37
And we need to start generating money, since the residents here have to begin seeing practical and quick results.
Renan Santos
1:43
Not that there won't be other medium- and long-term crops, especially in the fruit area, right?
Renan Santos
1:46
And in the long run we'll also have tilapia here.
Desconhecido
1:50
We'll also drill a well so they can treat the water and also have their own tilapia.
Desconhecido
1:53
And also, if you can show around... There's still an area that will be cleared, which is the Caatinga, where we'll start planting bananas, okay?
Desconhecido
2:00
We'll plant bananas for covan.
Desconhecido
2:02
This here is the semi-arid region.
Desconhecido
2:03
You see, there's practically no life, you see now.
Desconhecido
2:06
It's all dry, very dry, okay?
Desconhecido
2:09
But there is life.
Desconhecido
2:10
It rained here.
Desconhecido
2:10
Now, this rain that's here now, in about 15 days it starts to get very green.
Desconhecido
2:13
The greenery starts to sprout.
Desconhecido
2:15
So the semi-arid region has a long dry season.
Desconhecido
2:17
It's the Caatinga — that's all of this.
Desconhecido
2:19
And it gets completely dry.
Desconhecido
2:21
To preserve its life, it stores water in its stems.
Desconhecido
2:23
And now when the rain comes, it blossoms.
Desconhecido
2:26
So we'll clear a part here that can be cleared in order to do the banana planting.
Desconhecido
2:31
And what has already been cleared now is to start making the garden.
Desconhecido
2:34
What's your name?
Desconhecido
2:34
It's Lineide.
Desconhecido
2:35
Lineide, let me tell you something.
Desconhecido
2:37
What did you think of this?
Desconhecido
2:39
Wonderful.
Desconhecido
2:39
Let me ask you something.
Desconhecido
2:40
What do you do here?
Desconhecido
2:42
I work with the little grapevines over there.
Desconhecido
2:45
When it's raining we plant some beans.
Desconhecido
2:47
Because you can't plant when it isn't raining.
Desconhecido
2:50
When does it rain here?
Desconhecido
2:51
From May onward.
Desconhecido
2:53
Now it's just the little showers.
Desconhecido
2:55
So you can't plant beans then?
Desconhecido
2:56
No, you can't, not now.
Desconhecido
2:57
From May until when does it rain?
Desconhecido
2:58
Until June.
Desconhecido
2:59
Only from May to June?
Desconhecido
3:01
And the rest of the year?
Desconhecido
3:02
Last year there was no rainy season.
Desconhecido
3:03
There wasn't?
Desconhecido
3:04
So you didn't plant beans?
Desconhecido
3:05
Nobody planted last year because there was no rainy season.
Desconhecido
3:08
The idea is that the project...
Desconhecido
3:09
We broke the ground, but we didn't plant because there was no rainy season.
Renan Santos
3:12
Is it in about three months that we'll start harvesting something?
Desconhecido
3:15
Yes, it'll start.
Desconhecido
3:16
If we plant in about 15–20 days, we'll get things going and it will start right away.
Desconhecido
3:19
Exactly.
Renan Santos
3:20
And have you already imagined the change we'll have with this?
Renan Santos
3:23
A lot of people are talking about it, right?
Renan Santos
3:24
About: build water supply infrastructure and implement local agricultural production
When we built the water tank, when we installed the solar panels, we made videos and started showing them.
Why it was classified this way · 75% confidence Claims to have built a water tank and started local action ('a gente fez').
Renan Santos
3:30
You will start planting and the idea is for us to start selling the produce, repurchasing other seedlings because production has to continue.
Renan Santos
3:37
And then we'll keep going without stopping, right?
Renan Santos
3:39
Producing and carrying on, and then later investing in bananas, in fruits, then having tanks, tilapia, so that we start to have a production cycle that goes from protein to marketable products.
Renan Santos
3:48
Some of these proteins, imagine, Morique, correct me if I'm wrong, tilapia is also for consumption, right?
Renan Santos
3:54
Yes.
Renan Santos
3:54
They already consume a lot of tilapia here.
Desconhecido
3:57
There's a reservoir here where they fish, which is down here from the pond, sorry.
Desconhecido
4:02
They already fish there and already consume a lot of tilapia.
Desconhecido
4:05
It's their normal consumption.
Desconhecido
4:06
If there wasn't a prospect of planting, you'd keep saying, 'man, everything will go wrong,' it creates a bad vibe, right?
Desconhecido
4:12
Exactly, we get discouraged.
Renan Santos
4:14
Brazil seems like a country that doesn't get things right.
Desconhecido
4:17
Yeah, exactly.
Desconhecido
4:19
It seems like Brazil has stopped.
Renan Santos
4:21
Things never move forward.
Renan Santos
4:23
And when you start to get excited and start to have energy, doesn't that change what you think about the future?
Renan Santos
4:29
Can the future be different?
Desconhecido
4:30
Exactly, it changes a lot.
Renan Santos
4:32
About: mobilize public support for rural development projects
I need you with that energy.
Why it was classified this way · 80% confidence Asks for community participation and energy to support the project.
Renan Santos
4:34
Because you have the tools in your hands.
Renan Santos
4:36
What message would you give to the people who are attacking the project we are doing here?
Desconhecido
4:39
It's painted black, but the water doesn't heat up.
Desconhecido
4:43
This is their upside-down thinking, they're trying to bring it down, but trusting in Jesus Christ, no one will bring it down.
Desconhecido
4:49
We'll succeed, God willing.
Desconhecido
4:52
And no one will believe their lies, no.
Desconhecido
4:55
We were awarded, let's say, we got a big award, because the guys there, here, in this patch of land, had two wells and they didn't work.
Desconhecido
5:05
And ours worked on the first try.
Renan Santos
5:06
About: conduct technical studies before drilling water wells

Desconhecido
5:26
We were dependent, some time ago we relied heavily on water trucks when the pump failed.
Desconhecido
5:33
So this time the pump failed, we came to get it here, all good.
Renan Santos
5:36
Can you imagine what it's going to be like?
Renan Santos
5:39
So, by working hard, we have to work, that's the point.
Renan Santos
5:41
There's no point in us thinking about the future.
Renan Santos
5:44
Without imagining that there will be work along the way, the investment.
Renan Santos
5:47
But Christmas 2026 is going to be much better.
Renan Santos
5:51
Because you'll already be producing, trucks will come to pick up, there will be revenue, the little money that comes from work will start coming in.
Renan Santos
5:58
Have you stopped to think that this year-end will be different from the others?
Desconhecido

Is it true that the water came out boiling or did it come out normal?
Desconhecido
6:12
Normal.
Renan Santos
6:15
What do you mean?
Renan Santos
6:15
What do you mean?
Renan Santos
6:16
You know there are people who kept saying over there in São Paulo, 'no, that water would come out boiling and you'd burn your hand putting your hand in the water.'
Desconhecido
6:23
No, it came out great, of excellent quality.
Desconhecido
6:26
For those of you who don't believe, who keep judging without knowing what's going on, in a few months you'll see us planting and you'll say, 'they were right, they said it and they did it.'

6:38
And the water here doesn't boil, you see?
Desconhecido
6:40
It came out top quality.

Desconhecido
7:08
there's no boiling water, no, not here.
Desconhecido
7:09
It's a lie, folks.
Desconhecido
7:10
It's a lie, you people who are making it up, you know?
Desconhecido
7:13
