Christiane Torloni is a famous Brazilian actress and producer with a career spanning over 45 years. She has appeared in 14 plays, 27 soap operas, and 16 films. Torloni has been acting since 1975 and has received several Brazilian national awards.

Christiane is publicly involved in various social and environmental causes, many of which she leads personally. As a political activist, she has participated in “Diretas Já,” a civil movement calling for direct presidential elections in Brazil after the military dictatorship in 1983-1984. One of the campaigns she led was the Amazon Forever project (amazoniaparasempre.com.br), with the aim of stopping deforestation and demanding the protection of the forest, which gathered more than a million signatures that were sent to the National Congress of Brazil and won the Chico Mendes Award of Florestania in 2011. In 2009, she was honored by the World Health Organization for lending her image to actions aimed at reducing the mortality rate of women during pregnancy and childbirth.

Christiane is the creator, producer, and one of the directors of the 2019 documentary “Amazonia, the Awakening of Florestania.” The idea for the film comes from the Amazon Forever project and proposes a reflection on how the implementation of public policies that are wrong can endanger the future of the forest, and how citizens and “Florestania” are indivisible pieces of such a vulnerable chain.
