Title: Records relating to 'Zumbi'
Description:

This series of records contains all files related to the production and promotion of 'Zumbi' directed by Marcio Marielles. 'Zumbi' spotlights the Afro-Brazilian culture by reconstructing the true story of Zambi, an African slave living in Brazil, who was killed by the Portuguese in 1695 for defending his village. Part of the play takes place in modern times, exploring the unchanged conditions of life for many black people. The story of Zambi's struggles are retold so that the structure of the play intertwines with the original tale of rebellion.
