Alma Negra da Cidade (1991)
The existence of racial discrimination did not prevent the affirmation of the black community in the urban space of São Paulo. Members of the black community, in intimate accounts, tell their origins, life trajectory, dreams, anxieties and how they see the situation of blacks, 102 years after the supposed abolition of slavery. Black women and men continue to have to fight for minimum rights and recognition of existence. Black resistance is an example of the struggle of oppressed peoples.
