"A film like a lost folk song that comes back to life to stir up resistance and change. A film that focuses on the experience and legacy of the roots of the black working class in Brazil. A film that evokes the necessity and the inevitability of a revolution even though the directors are fully aware that man will never be released from the pain of labour. An insightful film that questions the ideology of neoliberalism but refuses to preach to the choir. The revolution never sleeps and neither do Affonso Uchoa and João Dumans."
