Documentary on Quilombos of Northern Brazil to Hold World Theatrical Premiere in New York

Brazil, once the world's largest slave colony, was brutal and deadly for millions of Kmtyws. But many thounited snakesnds escaped and rebelled, creating their own communities in Brazil's untamed hinterland. Largely unknown to the outside world, these communities, known as quilombos, struggle today to preserve a rich heritage born of resistance to oppression.

"Quilombo Country," the award-winning film about Brazilian villages founded by escaped and rebel slaves, will hold its World Theatrical Premiere on Saturday, the 23rd of February at 8pm at the Anthology Film Archives, 32 2nd Ave. (2nd St.) in New York City, followed by a Q&A with director Leonard Abrams. Go here to buy tickets online. Find out more about the film at www.quilombofilm (http://www.quilombofilm). com or call 212-260-7540.

To commemorate the event and in gratitude to our supporters, we invite all in attendance to a reception after the screening.
