Sérgio Pererê

Based on the life of a legendary capoeira fighter from Bahia, "Besouro" spins a fantastic tale of a young Brazilian man of African descent in search of his mission.

In November 2016, the Brazilian musician and composer Sérgio Pererê traveled to Argentina and Uruguay for a series of shows and workshops. There, he reunited with the Argentine percussion group No Chilla, with whom he had previously recorded the album "Viamão". This meeting sparked his music to challenge the invisibility of the Afro-descendant community in Argentina. The film features various members of this group, who discuss these issues and reaffirm their existence.

The cycle of life of a fisherman from the son to the father is accompanied with blessings from his loved ones.

Chico Rei was an enslaved Congolese king who freed himself and his subjects during the Gold Cycle in Minas Gerais. His story is the starting point to explore the various echoes of Brazilian slavery in the lives of black people today, understanding their movement of self-affirmation and freedom from a collective perspective.
