Black women make up less than 1% in the Chamber of Deputies. Of the 513 parliamentarians, 52 are women, 7 of which are black, according to the IBGE criteria, which considers the black population to be the sum of black and brown people.

They talk about their relationship with nature, with the region and the challenges of living in this place known for its rich biodiversity.

The Case of Carmen Palheta - Being creative in bureaucratic work and launching a book after 50. We can!

Pay the bills with bureaucratic work or drop everything and be happy doing only what you love? A question that never shuts up when we begin adult life and continues to scream throughout almost our entire professional career and can persist even into retirement. But the answer does not always come directly pointing to one option or another. Not everyone can choose to live solely on love, while the bills are screaming at the end of the month. What to do? This was also the dilemma experienced by the journalist, and now retired papilloscopist from the Civil Police, Carmen Palheta. This 52-year-old from Pará worked for decades as a public servant while her vocation as a writer and columnist called her every day. But the time spent on public employment duties did not allow her to go any further. In this episode no. 08 of A Case Apart, she shares the entire process with Noemia Colonna, and tells how she protected and exercised her creativity amid bureaucratic service for decades, managing to give vent to her writer side, full and beautiful at the height of her maturity, and later of his 50s.

Uncountable - EP 06 - Les peuples autochtones sous la dictature

“Indigenous Peoples in the Dictatorship” is the sixth episode of the series Incontáveis, a series that tells stories that are not usually told about the military dictatorship in Brazil. Produced by the UFRJ Memory and Truth Commission, the series seeks to disseminate recent academic research and reports prepared by the truth commissions. In this episode, we see how, during the dictatorship, indigenous peoples were the target of removals, massacres and epidemics in the name of development and national security. Businessmen, bankers, landowners and state agents allied themselves to "pacify" the alienated Indians and accelerate their "integration" into national society. Removing them from their lands, they built roads and hydroelectric dams, and installed economic activities such as farming and mining, generating pollution and destruction. On the other hand, the film also portrays the struggle of sertanistas, anthropologists and missionaries, the emergence of the unified indigenous movement and the challenges of the democratic period. The narration is by Douglas Krenak, whose family was exiled from their sacred territory during the dictatorship.

Black in Football / 2.Black Shirts

For many years, the clubs on the Zona Sul-Tijuca axis were able to take advantage of their hegemony in the Rio championship, because in 1923 a small club would leave the second division to change the history of football forever. Dressed in their black shirts, young black, mestizo and poor white people left the most undesirable places in the city and formed the team that drew crowds of people playing football that brought all the big teams to their knees. They came to score some goals, and maybe win some games, but along the way they called into question concepts of race and class within the four lines of football.
