Solidarity

About This Movie

So, ‘Solidarity’ from 2022—definitely an interesting piece. It's set against the backdrop of Brazil's 2021 protests during the pandemic, a raw moment in history. The film channels the spirit of Joyce Wieland's earlier work, but what’s striking here is how it focuses on the expressiveness of hands, you know? It gives a tactile quality to the protests, almost like the hands are the main characters. The pacing is thoughtful, allowing viewers to absorb the intensity of those moments. The vibe is serious but also filled with an underlying hope that resonates. It's not your typical protest doc; it’s about the collective human experience, and that’s what makes it stand out.

This film is still relatively new, so finding physical copies might be a challenge as it hasn’t been widely distributed. There’s a certain level of collector interest due to the unique thematic approach and its connection to Wieland's original film, which could add to its appeal in niche circles. It’s one of those titles that may well grow in significance over time, especially as the social and political landscapes evolve.
