The documentary shows the cultural resistance in the peripheries of Brazil, where people fight for visibility with the means of art. They occupy cities and raise their voice against discrimination, police violence, racism and homophobia. For three years, the filmmakers worked and lived with the collectives and activists, accompanying them in the Amazon rainforest, at protests in the capital and in the subcultures of Brazilian metropolises. With their own films, music and performances, the protagonists fight for attention —in the midst of an uncompromising and highly accelerated social reality.
