Marina Silva, a candidate in Brazil’s presidential elections, is internationally recognised for her campaign in favour of sustainable development and the preservation of nature. Born in Acre, in the Brazilian hinterland, she had a difficult childhood and adolescence, marked by many hardships – factors which helped to shape her critical awareness and taught her to look out for others. She only learnt to read at the age of 16 and, not long afterwards, went on to university. Her political activism stemmed from her studies and everything she had seen and experienced whilst living in Acre. Her fragile health led doctors to declare her terminally ill on more than one occasion. Discover the life, thoughts and faith of this woman, as recounted by Marília de Camargo César in *Marina*, a major feature article brimming with quotes, characters and real-life stories that have left a lasting mark on Marina Silva’s journey. *Marina*: the remarkable story of a resilient woman who faced the greatest adversities and proved that it is possible to overcome a difficult past to pave the way for a successful future!
