Free Our Bodies!

Synopsis

Free Our Bodies! is a documentary on the history of the liberation of Brazilian women’s body and their fight against objectification. ‘Thinking beyond both categories - documentary and fiction - the film looks for an unconventional form, mixing both film languages by incorporating the drama of Marcos’ a reporter who, while researching the topic, makes a startling discovery about his past. As he watches the interviews and examines the materials gathered for this film, in an exercise of metalanguage, Marcos begins to reflect on male chauvinism, race and class discrimination that’s present within him and Brazilian society. The film mixes interviews, fictional scenes, and archival images that illustrate the factors that have contributed to female liber ation, and further proposes a debate on feminism through the deconstruction of masculine concepts.
