YOUR TURN / ESPERO TUA (RE)VOLTA ( 27TH AFRICAN DIASPORA FF)

When Brazil’s economic and social crisis deepened in the last decade, students protested and occupied hundreds of schools, demanding better public education and the end of austerity measures. The feature documentary Espero tua (re)volta / Your turn depicts the brazilian student movement itself. The documentary is narrated by three high school students, who represent central points of their struggle. The narrators’ jostling for space and time exposes the movement’s conflicts and demonstrates its complexity.
