At first glance Brazil appears to be an alluring playground of exciting carnivals, sultry samba, divine football and a vibrantly diverse people. But behind this dazzling facade lies a disturbing story of history’s largest-ever slave population. Astonishingly Brazil, a Portuguese colony, received ten-times more African slaves than the numbers transported to North America. This programme looks at those estimated 4 million people with whose blood, sweat and tears Brazil was built. Without them none of Brazil’s present-day success and appeal would exist. Using contemporary testimonies, this film takes a hard look at Brazil’s dark history through the eyes of those slaves. They lived in squalid conditions on remote plantations or in teeming cities harboring fatal diseases. Most Africans survived only seven years in this ‘New World’. Some, however, did survive to create a new culture a fusion of African and European. This new ethnicity permeates and explains the modern Brazilian way of life. This outstanding film, winner of the Houston Film Festival Gold Award, is directed by Phil Grabsky. His film throws light on Brazil’s inconvenient history.

À primeira vista, o Brasil parece ser um playground atraente de carnavais emocionantes, samba sensual, futebol divino e um povo vibrantemente diversificado. Mas por trás desta fachada deslumbrante esconde-se uma história perturbadora da maior população escrava de sempre. Surpreendentemente, o Brasil, uma colónia portuguesa, recebeu dez vezes mais escravos africanos do que o número transportado para a América do Norte. Este programa olha para aqueles estimados 4 milhões de pessoas com cujo sangue, suor e lágrimas o Brasil foi construído. Sem eles, nenhum dos sucessos e apelos atuais do Brasil existiriam. Usando testemunhos contemporâneos, este filme analisa a sombria história do Brasil através dos olhos desses escravos. Eles viviam em condições miseráveis ​​em plantações remotas ou em cidades populosas que abrigavam doenças fatais. A maioria dos africanos sobreviveu apenas sete anos neste “Novo Mundo”. Alguns, no entanto, sobreviveram para criar uma nova cultura, uma fusão de culturas africanas e europeias. Essa nova etnia permeia e explica o modo de vida moderno brasileiro. Este excelente filme, vencedor do Houston Film Festival Gold Award, é dirigido por Phil Grabsky. Seu filme lança luz sobre a história inconveniente do Brasil.
