Pelourinho, They Don’t Really Care About Us is this vibrant documentary that dives into the historical and ongoing struggles of Brazil's black population. It opens with a poignant letter from W.E.B. Du Bois, setting up a context that feels both historical and painfully relevant. The film’s pacing is reflective, letting moments linger, which enhances the emotional weight of the subject matter. Visually, it’s rich, full of color and life, capturing the essence of Pelourinho itself—a place steeped in culture yet shadowed by inequality. What stands out is the blend of archival footage and present-day activism, creating a dialogue across time that feels urgent. It's not just a documentary; it’s a call to remember and reflect.
