Four rappers take the stage in São Paulo, but even their obvious talent and love of performing isn’t enough to overcome the realities of racism and sexism in Brazil—being black, poor, and female gets in the way of success. Original music by the wonderfully talented cast enhances this vibrant story of friendship, struggle, and achievement. This is Tata Amaral’s third feature: A Starry Sky was screened as part of Women in the Director’s Chair 1997 and Through the Window was shown as part of Women with Vision 2001. 2006, Brazil, 35mm, in Portuguese with English subtitles, 90 minutes.
