Race and History in Brazil 

Designed to support teaching in Africana Studies, Latin American Studies, Brazilian Studies, History, Cultural Studies, Sociology, Film and Media Studies, and related disciplines, this three-film collection explores race, identity, and the enduring legacy of slavery in Brazil. Combining documentary, historical reflection, and speculative fiction, these acclaimed films challenge the myth of Brazil as a racial democracy while examining how the past continues to shape contemporary struggles for representation, equality, and justice.

The collection includes:
• Executive Order
• Denying Brazil (A Negação do Brasil)
• Abolição

Executive Order is set in a near-future Brazil where the government orders all Black citizens to relocate to Africa as a form of historical reparation. As resistance grows, the film uses satire and dystopian fiction to expose the persistence of racism and the fragility of civil rights in contemporary society.

Denying Brazil (A Negação do Brasil) examines the representation of Black people in Brazilian television from the 1960s through the end of the twentieth century. Through clips from popular soap operas and interviews with actors, filmmakers, and scholars, the documentary reveals how media has reinforced racial stereotypes while limiting the visibility and opportunities of Afro-Brazilians.

Abolição reflects on Brazil one hundred years after the abolition of slavery in 1888. Through interviews, historical analysis, and reflections from activists, artists, and intellectuals, the film explores the promises left unfulfilled by emancipation and the enduring realities of racial inequality.

Together, these films provide a rich framework for understanding the historical roots and contemporary expressions of race in Brazil. They invite critical discussion of slavery and abolition, media representation, national identity, structural racism, social justice, and the ongoing struggle for equality in one of the world's largest Afro-descendant societies.

Through historical narrative, political thought, and cultural memory, it examines how anti-colonial struggles have shaped resistance, consciousness, and self-definition across the region.

• Catch a Fire
• Maluala
• Walter Rodney: What They Don’t Want You to Know

Catch a Fire revisits the 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion in Jamaica through the life of Paul Bogle, grounding the collection in one of the Caribbean's most significant uprisings against colonial rule.

Maluala, directed by Sergio Giral—one of the most important Afro-Cuban filmmakers—takes place in nineteenth-century Cuba within a palenque, a maroon settlement formed by formerly enslaved Africans who escaped into the mountains. As Spanish colonial forces attempt to divide its leaders, the film traces the tension between survival, unity, and rebellion, reflecting the broader struggle of cimarrones fighting for land, autonomy, and freedom.

Walter Rodney: What They Don't Want You to Know centers on the Guyanese historian and activist, whose work on colonialism, underdevelopment, and Black liberation continues to shape political thought today.
