This study has as objective to analyse the effects of meaning over the body and the solidarity in the documentary the person is for what was born (2006, direction of roberto berliner), whose plot tells the story of the sisters maria, regina e conceio. Our analytical outline lean over the speeches of the sisters and the people who live with them and searches to explicit our lecture gestures about the discoursivities from these subjects and from the meanings produced in the interior of the movie context, also marked by poverty and the blindness of the three sisters, who are known as the little blinds of campina grande. Starting from the pecheutian presupposition that the subject is not homogeneous, we have as hypothesis that in contemporaneity a body with this mark/failure will produce discursive tensions between the subject marked and that one with which coexists, the same could happen in the interior of a statement of a single subject, since this is crossed by various ideological training, which face themselves in the materiality of the speech, escaping the control that supposedly the subject believes to have about that he says.
