ABOLICAO
"Aboliçao" is a startling look at the racial situation of Black Brazilians in contemporary Brazil. The director asks the following question to Black Brazilians from diverse walks of life -- musicians, politicians, activists, people in government, ambassadors, social workers, sport stars, actors, street kids, farmers, etc... -- "We are celebrating 100 years since the abolition of slavery in Brazil, what does the abolition of slavery mean to you?"... Divided in sections addressing political, economic, social and cultural issues, "Aboliçao" contributed to a new analysis of the Black experience in Brazil. An indispensable title to have in a library for the study of the Black presence in Latin America. Directed by Sozimo Bulbul, 1998, 150 min, Brazil, Documentary, Portuguese /English subt.
