This documentary is about rural communities in Brazil known as quilombos, from an Angolan word that means encampment. Quilombos were either founded by runaway slaves or begun from abandoned plantations. As many as 2,000 quilombos exist today. The film provides a glimpse into these communities, with extensive footage of ceremonies, dances and lifestyles, interwoven with discussions about their history and the issues most important to them currently. more at www.quilombofilm.com
