Brazil Studies Program and Harvard Brazilian Organization Film Series
Favela Rising. 2005
Directed by Matt Mochary and Jeff Zimbalist
Date: Monday, March 10, 2008
Time: 6:00- 8:00 pm
Location: Tsai Auditorium, CGIS, 1730 Cambridge Street
Synopsis:
Favela Rising documents a man and a movement, a city divided and a
favela (Brazilian squatter settlement) united. Haunted by the murders of
his family and many of his friends, Anderson Sá turns social
revolutionary in Rio de Janeiro’s most feared slum. Through hip-hop
music, the rhythms of the street, and Afro-Brazilian dance he rallies
his community to counteract the violent oppression enforced by teenage
drug armies and sustained by corrupt police. At the dawn of liberation,
just as collective mobility is overcoming all odds and Anderson’s
grassroots Afro Reggae movement is at the height of its success, a
tragic accident threatens to silence the movement forever.
