Denying Brazil

A documentary film about the taboos, stereotypes, and struggles of black actors in Brazilian television "soaps". Based on his own memories and on a sturdy body of research evidence, the director analyses race relations in Brazilian soap operas, calling attention to their likely influence on Brazilian African-Americans' identity-forming processes.

O documentário é uma viagem na história da telenovela no Brasil e particularmente uma análise do papel nelas atribuído aos atores negros, que sempre representam personagens mais estereotipados e negativos. Baseado em suas memórias e em fortes evidências de pesquisas, o diretor aponta as influências das telenovelas nos processos de identidade étnica dos afro-brasileiros e faz um manifesto pela incorporação positiva do negro nas imagens televisivas do país.
