TODAY 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. This event is made possible by the generous support of the Jorge Paulo Lemann Fund. _____________________ Public Health in Latin America: Student and Faculty Reflections from Brazil and Chile Field Courses Date: Wednesday, March 12, 2008 Time: 6:30 - 8:30 p.m. Location: CGIS South, Room: S 030 - Basement Level - 1730 Cambridge Street, Cambridge The Brazil Studies Program, DRCLAS Regional Office in Chile and the School of Public Health at Harvard are pleased to invite you to this event that will highlight the experiences of students and faculty in recent public health field courses in Chile and Brazil.
