Verbo Ser

Overview

Set in the Cariri region of Ceará, in Northeastern Brazil, the film follows feminist activists who, through personal accounts and stories of resistance, reveal the urgent struggle against femicide and the pervasive effects of patriarchy on women’s lives. Against the backdrop of the Araripe Plateau, these women share decades of activism, reflecting on how female subjects resist the patriarchal modus operandi that violates their bodies and existence within a rural, developing Latin American context.
