Samba de Santo - Resistencia Afro-Baiana

Three Carnival blocks, born in candomble terreiros in Bahia, are the center of this documentary: Ile Aiye, Cortejo Afro and Bankoma. Through the work of these centennial groups, the film explores black culture, its dances, its fabrics and its ancestry. The blocks continue to resist and echo the black Bahian movements, helping their communities and spreading brightness through the tortuous paths of a racist Brazil.
