PROJECTS: The Hinterland: sertao_14_20151113sertao0427

Passagem, Brazil. Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2015.
“It has been three years of planting on this land. The river never returned, so I never left," said farmer Joselita Antunes dos Reis, 53, who saved the last of the corn to replant along the canals of the São Francisco River and Sobradinho Reservoir, in the state of Bahia, Brazil, on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2015. She began fishing when she met her husband, a fisherman, but when he died last year of cancer, she returned to farming. She was a migrant who lived in São Paolo, while her six children stayed with her parents in the Sertão. She was domestically abused by a relative while living in São Paulo and eventually returned home. Since her husband's passing, she now plants on the islands that have emerged from the drought.
