BLACK RIO!
BLACK POWER!

Black Rio! Black Power! showcases a pioneering Black Music and dance movement that redefined Afro-Brazilian culture during a time of intense political and social repression. This film delves into the origins of their legacy in the consciousness of hip hop, the politically organized Black movement, and the cultural terminology of the "baile" parties (bailes) that still shape our culture today.

This film celebrates the power of Blackness through music, serving as a powerful tool to spark public reflection on themes ranging from the rescue of Black self-esteem, the importance of memory, the restriction of freedom, the anti-racist struggle, and culture as a form of resistance.
