O Pessoal é Político

Documentary investigates female authorship in literature and whether writing can be defined by gender.

The documentary tells the story of writer Carolina Maria de Jesus, who became a success in the 60s and, since then, has inspired writers and artists such as Ruth de Souza, Zezé Motta and Conceição Evaristo.

Passionate about the magic of cinema and historically imposed on a place of invisibility, prejudices and stereotypes, how can women challenge, break with oppression, look after precious archives, play remarkable characters, produce and direct successful films? The documentary illuminates the trajectories of dreams, challenges and victories of talented Brazilian women in our audiovisual sector.
