Samba of Saints - An Afro-Bahian Resistance Movement

Samba de Santo - Resistência Afro-Baiana

Brazil 2020 Documentary cor 81 min.

Three Carnival blocks, born from Candomblé religion, in Bahia, are the center of this documentary: Ilê Aiyê, Cortejo Afro and Bankoma. Through the work of these centenary groups, the film explores the black culture, its dances, its fabrics and its ancestrality. The blocks keep resisting and echoing the black movements in Bahia, helping their communities and spreading shine on the winding paths in a racist Brazil.
