How Many of Us Were to Be Here? (Quantos eram pra tá?)
We follow the daily lives of three young students at the University of São Paulo. They symbolize a first generation of Black students that, thanks to the government's new education policy, are able to attend the best public universities in the country—places traditionally reserved for a white elite.
VOZES E TERRITÓRIOS Q&A

Short films that convey the struggle for Black Brazilians, pushed to the margins in mainstream narratives and historically excluded from opportunities like higher education, to carve out territories where they can claim a sense of place.


Pre-recorded Q&A with João Antonio Santucci, director of White Zombies, and Ana Júlia Travia, director of SAMPLE, accompanies this screening! This talk appears at the end of this film playlist for viewing throughout the festival.
