Brazilian Film Series

Saudade Do Futuro (2006)
Directed by Cesar Paes

This award-winning documentary tells the story of the cantadores, folk singers from the more underprivileged northeastern regions of Brazil, who land in the metropolis of São Paulo in search of better lives, fame and fortune. As the group performs, we learn about their everyday lives and struggles, including everything from their financial status to religious beliefs and personal relationships. The rhythm of one of the largest cities in the world, featuring the unique sounds of forró and repentismo, is brought to life through their stories and songs.
