Set in the sparsely populated frontier of northeastern Brazil, Backlands recounts the true story of a charismatic outlaw leader, Lampiao, who rose to dominate the region from 1922 to 1938. Known for his strategic prowess and commanding presence, Lampiao became a legendary figure, especially after forming a deep bond with Maria Bonita, his partner and "Queen of the Bandits." This tale offers a glimpse into their world of lawlessness, cunning, and their pursuit of freedom amidst the harsh landscape.
