  One hundred years of servitude in Brazil
  
  Sexagenarian Augusto Miranda Brasão has been cutting piassava since the age of 12 to pay off debts to his bosses. This palm tree, with coarse fibres that are used to make brooms, has marked the life of Augusto as well as that of his brother, father and grandfather.
