There is no single story that contains a single truth, a single version. Like lenses, each starting point allows for a different look, unique only in its uniqueness and intrinsic to a network of other stories, other feelings.
To restrict history to only one version would be to deny part of the local knowledge, of the great knowledge produced by the four corners of the world.

José do Patrocínio was born in Paracatu de Baixo, Mariana district (MG), but the right year he doesn't even know it. It's been almost 90 years, and 24 children, of a life filled with memories of a happy childhood very close to the nature. The dam rupture in 2015, which hit Paracatu de Baixo in a few hours, put in suspension the greatest joy of Zezinho: lead and play at the Folia de Reis, the most traditional celebration of the region, of which he has been ahead for almost six decades. His instruments went away with the mud, as did the banners of the procession. But that same year, he received something that can only be considered a gift. His son found, totally buried, one of the flags, which curiously was not hit by the tailings.
