- Synopsis:
- Quilombo, Carlos Diegues’ historical saga, is a stirring fusion of folklore, political impact, and dynamic storytelling, realized in vibrant tropical colors and set to pulsating beat of Gilberto Gil’s rhythmic musical score.The story derives from fact: in 17th-century Brazil, groups of runaway black slaves escaped to mountainous jungle strongholds, where they formed liberated self-governing communities known as Quilombos.
