Germano Mathias - O Catedrático do Samba (2023)
A white man, yet forged in the samba de engraxate that had its main stronghold in downtown São Paulo, Germano Mathias became an icon of a musical style that mixed a lot of "malandragem" and poetry. We follow Germano as he recounts his life, journey, and brings us memories of a city that, while it no longer exists, is still hidden from our distracted gazes.
Directors: Hernani de Oliveira Ramos, Caue Angeli.
