00:00THIS IS A FILM ABOUT THE BRAZILIAN RACISM
00:04Religious intolerance, oppression,
00:07are the major targets of attacks.
00:09Religious intolerance is a crime.
00:11The worst thing you can do to someone
00:15is to destroy their faith.
00:18To kill a people, you have to kill their culture.
00:20The Brazilian racism has no law,
00:22it's in the constitution of subjectivity.
00:24First of all, because it can turn the victim into the villain.
00:27I've been assaulted for 24 hours and I'm still surviving.
00:31So each one will look for their own psychology, I've looked for mine.
00:41It's time for us to put our symbols and signs on the streets.
00:50Rita took that so courageously.
00:58São Jorge is not a saint, São Jorge is a brother, a father.
01:08This circulation power of Exu in the fairs, in the markets,
01:11in the memory of the fight of Palmares,
01:14the presence of Exu for us to think about this great idea of crossroads.
01:17It's not a crossroad of divergences, it's a crossroad of convergences
01:22that shows that everything that crosses me, builds me.
01:28Exu really won.
01:32I missed a lot of characters that reflected my reality.
01:36The great fight of Afro-Brazilian religiousness
01:40is a fight against religious racism.
01:45The answer is in art.
01:49My faith, this sense of understanding that other people
01:53are as important as the people I know.
01:57We are a family of humanity.
02:01If they break the bar, if they break the image,
02:04they won't break my faith.
02:08I believe in community, church, land, movement.
02:26I believe in community, church, land, movement.
