Overview: The 28-year history of the Olodum Theater Band, Latin America's longest-running black theater company. Created in Salvador in 1990, in partnership with the Olodum Cultural Group, the company was responsible for launching names such as Lázaro Ramos and Érico Brás. Gathering archive images and interviews with Bando members, collaborators and other guests, the group's trajectory is built.
Overview: In 1996, filmmaker André Luiz Oliveira started preproduction of Viva o Povo Brasileiro, a film adaptation of the novel by João Ubaldo Ribeiro. Principal photography went on for nine years, but the production was shut down after a series of unfortunate events. This documentary retells that story, repurposing the fictional footage and chronicling the work both in front and behind the scenes.
