Starting from an ethnographic research that occurred inside a documentary production, the text discuss the political, ethics and aesthetics characteristics involved in this two process. It told us how was the work in with the field, the conditions of the image’s production and the film editing of the documentary - moments that gives a view about how ethnographic research and documentary film can have similar ways in their course. The field experience dialogue with the theory of anthropologists like José Magnani and Massimo Canevacci and with the cinema’s theorists Jean-Louis Comolli and Eduardo Coutinho.
