Black Brazilian who worked in a government-owned electricity company, was fired from his job.  It did not take long for him to realize that his dismissal was directly linked to his skin color.  Encouraged by his union and a strong Black empowerment movement, he began a judicial process which he won, and as a result was reinstated in his former position.  This informative documentary about an unknown victory illustrates how the courts of Brazil did recognize the company's prejudice and racism in a country where such realities are usually dismissed as

The former makes lunches in a factory yard in Port-au-Prince and sells her meals to the factory workers; the latter is employed in the same factory as a production worker making pullovers and T-shirts. Every day she buys her midday meal on credit from Anne-Rose. Through the connection between these two women the film shows part of their daily work and the constant battle for survival that they lead together with other women in Haiti. Going beyond this, however the film demonstrates the extent to which the importation of North American goods has brought about the collapse of Haitian regional production and ruined Haiti's economy. The connection between the two topics of the film reveals the significant role that Haitian women of today play in an economy that has been bled dry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIRECTOR AND CAST\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eDirector: \u003cspan\u003eClaudette Coulanges\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \n\u003ch4\u003eGENRES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDocumentary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AfricanFilm.com","offers":[{"title":"DVD Only","offer_id":31528054095929,"sku":"","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Streaming Only","offer_id":31528054128697,"sku":"","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DVD + Streaming","offer_id":31528054161465,"sku":"","price":445.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2103\/9651\/products\/LOOKING_FOR_LIFE_CHERCHER_LA_VIE_copy.png?v=1568064486"},{"product_id":"maluala","title":"MALUALA","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"name\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2103\/9651\/files\/maluala-2-300x168_480x480.jpg?v=1579211103\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"name\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eMALUALA \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eDIRECTED BY\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eSERGIO GIRAL\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eCUBA \/ 1979 \/ SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES \/ 95 MIN\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSYNOPSIS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMaluala takes us into a palenque, a settlement of escaped slaves hidden somewhere in Cuba's eastern mountains, where discord is sown between black \"kings\" by clever subversives working for the Spanish government.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Sergio Giral is the best known of the Black Cuban directors and his previous films were historical observations of the period of slavery in Cuba, the gradual rise of rebellion against colonial traditions, and the ultimate freedom that resulted. Maluala is the most striking addition to this genre. The action takes place during the last century in the region of Maluala. Gallo, the black chieftain, together with his cohort, Coba, present a petition for land and liberty to the colonial government. Governor Escudero offers liberty if the rebellious villages will be dismantled and their men offer themselves in surrender. He promises that they will be freed shortly thereafter. Three chieftains agree, but Gallo and Coba refuse... Giral has mounted Maluala with colorful ritual and acting. Samuel Claxton, as Gallo, is highly stylized in the heroic tradition. It is an absorbing adventure film wrought from historical events which appear violent, but Giral constantly implants into every image the necessity for unity among people in order to combat man's seemingly casual desire to subjugate mankind, in the struggle for power and undefined ambition.\" \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e~ \/San Francisco Film Festival, 1980\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"The historically lucid intrigues of Maluala (1979), where the Afrocentric leadership of fugitive palenque communities is pitted against each other COINTELPRO-style by Spanish colonists, is one of those Cuban films that were forged in a righteous, red-hot ferment but still found the courage and wit to ask questions about the society around them.\u003c\/em\u003e\" ~\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eGary Dauphin, The Village Voice\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIRECTOR AND CAST\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eDirector: \u003cspan\u003eSergio Giral\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eStarring: Samuel Claxton\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStarring: Adolfo Llauradó\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStarring: Raúl Pomares \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \n\u003ch4\u003eGENRES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHistorical Drama \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AfricanFilm.com","offers":[{"title":"DVD Only","offer_id":31528070250553,"sku":"","price":245.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Streaming Only","offer_id":31528070283321,"sku":"","price":395.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DVD + Streaming","offer_id":31528070316089,"sku":"","price":495.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2103\/9651\/products\/Maluala_2019.png?v=1568063606"},{"product_id":"el-mestizo","title":"MESTIZO","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"name\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2103\/9651\/files\/mestizo_2_480x480.jpg?v=1578691951\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"name\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003eMESTIZO \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eDIRECTED BY\u003cspan\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eMARIO HANDLER\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eVENEZUELA \/ 1989 \/ SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES  \/ 82 MIN\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSYNOPSIS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe action takes place in a village on the Venezuelan coast, a place of fishermen and big haciendas.

Natal da Portela created the first escola de samba in Rio de Janeiro. The schools of samba are the soul of carnival in Brazil and major reservoirs of Afro-Brazilian culture. The film depicts the life of Natal da Portela as a young man from the favelas--the slums of the northern part of Rio de Janeiro--up to the creation of “la Portela”, the school of samba he created. The principal role played by Milton Goncalves, one of the major Black actors in Brazil, gives the story an authentic flavor rarely seen in films portraying the contemporary life of Black people in Brazil. This is a film filled with joy, music and laughter. “Natal da Portela” is also a film that narrates the story of contemporary Brazil and the legacy of African people in that country. Several other major actors enrich the story, Zeze Mota well known for her role in “Quilombo” and the dean of Black Brazilian actors, the great Grande Otello much remembered for his major role in Rio Zona Norte and Macunaima just to mention a few titles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDIRECTOR AND CAST\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eDirector: Paulo Cezar Saraceni\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eStarring: Zezé Motta\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStarring: Milton Gonçalves\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStarring: Almir Guineto \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e \n\u003ch4\u003eGENRES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"bullets\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrama \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AfricanFilm.com","offers":[{"title":"DVD Only","offer_id":31528232878137,"sku":"","price":195.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Streaming Only","offer_id":31528232910905,"sku":"","price":345.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"DVD + Streaming","offer_id":31528232943673,"sku":"","price":445.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2103\/9651\/products\/NATAL_2019.png?v=1568063065"},{"product_id":"placido-the-blood-of-the-poet","title":"PLACIDO, THE BLOOD OF THE POET","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"name\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2103\/9651\/files\/placido_2_480x480.jpg?v=1579211508\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003ch1 class=\"name\" itemprop=\"name\"\u003ePLACIDO, THE BLOOD OF THE POET \u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eDIRECTED BY \u003cstrong\u003eSERGIO GIRAL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003eCUBA \/ 1986 \/ SPANISH WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES \/ 96 MIN\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSYNOPSIS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"dirs\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlacido portraits the dramatic story of Gabriel de la Concepcio Valdes (Placido), a mulatto Cuban poet accused of leading a conspiracy against the Spanish colonial government.

He feels invincible-living the life of a rock star--sex, drugs and alcohol--except that he can no longer hide his illness which is threatening to derail his career. Despite pressure from his manager, he refuses to get tested for AIDS, turning instead to rituals, spells, and the church. At one of his concerts, he rescues Nina from the leery advances of Larieux, a wealthy and powerful businessman, who Nina's mother wants her to marry. As romance blossoms between Dao and Nina, who likes Dao despite his fame, not because of it, Larieux plots his revenge.

He influenced the music and political life of his time. He was a genius composer and conductor, a virtuoso violinist, the best fencer in Europe, as well as the first black general in the French army.
