Abdias do Nascimento passed away at the age of 97, after a long life dedicated to Brazil's Black social movement. Abdias was also an artist of multiple sensibilities. The Afro-Brazilian scholar, writer, activist and politician Abdias do Nascimento (1930-2011) was a significant figure in and leader in Brazils Black Movement and was very active in the international Pan-African Movement.
Through interviews with Ruth de Souza, Lea Garcia and other political and theater partners, the film intertwines moments of pure acting, using the stage interaction and the language of drama to talk about reality. Abdias do Nascimento mixes memories, dreams, and feelings in order to shape a complex and real profile of an unforgettable Brazilian man.
