nature in this place full of greenery and people of different
nationalities. Today, she lives in Nova Friburgo, a mountainous region
of Rio de Janeiro, where she grows organic food cooperative

in life and was reinforced by the company of people like Frei Betto
and Herbert de Souza, who showed her the importance of using her
celebrity for something more than making money. Her engagement has
become so strong that she went on to live with indigenous people
craós (Tocantins) as one of them, and to camp with members of the

the São Francisco River. Sabatella is part of the non-governmental
organization Human Rights Movement.Her experience with the Indians led
her to start a career as a filmmaker. In 2008, she launched the
