This documentary journeys through the streets, churches, and living memories of Ouro Preto, Brazil, uncovering the roots that have shaped the nation’s history and the voices that refused to be erased. It returns to a past defined by slavery, faith, spirituality, and the resilience of people whose contributions have too often been overlooked.
