We travel to Sao Paulo to meet Paula, a dynamic woman who left a career as a professional journalist to become a documentary filmmaker, focused on stories that expose injustices and inequalities in Brazilian society. In Sao Paulo we scope out the street art splattered around the city; and our friend, Miro, takes us on a tour of Embu Das Artes, a community of craftsmen and artists.
Daiyan, our filmmaker in Havana, is in an industry over-dominated by government control. He made his first film with $30 in his pocket to later receive full funding from the Norwegian Embassy to make his second film,"adoleCe." As an independent filmmaker in Cuba, Daiyan is a rebel with a heart: sacrificing all he has to make cinematic art in hopes that the muse continues to inspire.
Azerbaijan has an eclectic mix of Persian, Turkish, and Russian influences. Our filmmakers Oktay and Elvin fight to maintain their voices in this former Soviet country.
