2024 · 71 min · Documentary

Combining testimonials from characters who make the São Paulo funk scene happen with observational excerpts, director Kenya Zanatta addresses the multiplicities and contradictions of the movement. By tackling issues such as prejudice and the female presence, the film seeks to identify the social roots of a genre that was born and still finds its greatest creative power on the outskirts of large cities.
