A luta esquecida dos negros pelo fim da escravidão no Brasil || BBC Brasil
Amanda Rossi e Juliana Gragnani
BBC Brasil
...
O Brasil era o último país da América a acabar com a escravidão. Ao longo de mais de três séculos, foi o maior destino de tráfico de africanos no mundo, quase cinco milhões de pessoas. Grande parte dos descendentes daqueles que chegaram também fora escravizada.
...
"As vozes dos abolicionistas têm posto em relevo um fato altamente criminoso e assaz defendido pelas nossas indignas autoridades. A maior parte dos escravos africanos (...) foram importados depois da lei proibitiva do tráfico promulgada em 1831"
-- Luís Gama [rábula (advogado auto-didata, sem diploma) e fez da profissão uma forma de luta contra a escravidão]
Jeferson De's Doutor Gama (2021)

Takahisa Zeze’s Heaven’s Story (2010)
I once told a colleague, while working in one of the Hotels Holiday Inn (2002), that I love the work of some Asian directors.
Thirteen years later, a racist and stupid teacher, member of the Brotherhood of the Crass, spitted that same idea through the prism of their stupidity: for them, Asian cinema means Kung Fu. She was telling her colleagues and students that I like "action movies" while wearing that characteristic stupid smile of the Brotherhood.

Hedonismo e simetría || Peter Greenaway | Brais Romero
Hedonismo e simetría - Peter Greenaway from Brais Romero on Vimeo.
Brais Romero
Entre as moitas señas de identidade do cinema de Peter Greenaway, destacan o hedonismo e simetría. O encadre de Greenaway é, case sempre, milimétrico, preciso, optando por encadrarse dentro dos eixos centrais da imaxe e resultando nunha imaxe simétrica. Por outra banda, as personaxes que habitan estas imaxes están sempre tentados polos praceres carnais: a comida e o sexo. Un hedonismo que, non sempre, resulta en violencia case pornográfica.

Racism Is Not Ignorance, It Is A Conscious Behaviour.
Too black to be French - a documentary by Isabelle Boni-Claverie (excerpt) (shadowandact.com)
Yes, Stupidity is a conscious behaviour, it has a purpose. Ignorance is another thing altogether.
