Salvador Dawning captures the diverse perspectives of Afro-Brazilian mobilization from Brazil's own Afro-descendant leaders, legislators, and activists while at the same time giving a glimpse of the struggles Afro-Brazilians face. Afro-Brazilians number about 70 million, approximately 47% of Brazil's total population and comprising the largest group of Afro-descendant people outside of Africa! Yet despite Afro-Brazilian's tremendous contributions to Brazil's culture, society and economy, they face disproportionate social and economic barriers.
Through policy, cultural enrichment, workforce and community development, today's Afro-Brazilian leaders are shifting the pendulum and dramatically bolstering the rights, access, and quality of life of Afro-Brazilian. Their struggles and victories provide invaluable lessons for us all. (Portuguese w/ English subtitles).
