FilmBelgeselAn Afro-Brazilian filmmaker and a Swiss-Serbian photographer embark on a personal and political journey to confront the colonial mindset that still shapes relationships in today’s world. From Brazil, one of the most unequal countries marked by structural racism, to Switzerland, one of the richest and most privileged nations, they face uncomfortable questions: how can a Black woman thrive in a society built on racism? And how do you decolonize the mind when you’ve grown up surrounded by privilege? In search of answers, they dive into transformative conversations with inspiring voices around the world, while reflecting on their own contradictions, complicities, and hopes.
