This Is Bate Bola (Somos Melhor Que Tem)

2019 16 min Portuguese

“THE RIO CARNIVAL THAT YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE...”

On the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro during its world famous Carnival, far from the beach and the touristic clichés, there is an explosive contest between neighbourhoods. This old form of carnival features teams of futuristic gladiators that are a surreal mixture of play and menace. A tradition that has its roots in ancient European carnival traditions and in African rituals, they look like visitors from another planet.
