2024 · Documentary

Maria Pimentel is one of us! A fierce activist, she was part of the founding of the Federation of Women of São Paulo in the early 1980s as a union leader and contributed to the formation of several women's associations in the state. The film, in partnership with Instituto Angelim and Caliban Cinema, tells the memories and stories of Lúcia Maria Pimentel, an activist who fought against the military dictatorship in Brazil from a young age. Committed to her country and her people, she was arrested, went underground and exiled, but returned to fight for redemocratization and social justice.

MovieDocumentary
The film deals with the process of globalization based on the thought of geographer Milton Santos, who through his ideas and practices, inspires the debate about Brazilian society and the construction of a new world. Santos discusses his views on the importance of respecting difference and his belief that an alternative globalisation model could wholly enfranchise all citizens of the world. An illustrious presence in 20th century social sciences, the man dubbed as ‘geography’s philosopher’ eloquently elucidates a developing world perspective on the global age.
