Glory & Freedom

2025 · 73 min · Animation

In a not-too-distant future, after centuries of uprisings that divided the old Brazil into new and idiosyncratic nations, a filmmaker travels through the northern and northeastern regions in search of answers for her (and our) historical moment. In this multifaceted and unconventional animated utopian documentary, the boundaries between memory and imagination, the past and the future, blur reality and fiction to question the very concept of a nation and its potential for reinvention.
