A portrait of Afro-Brazilian resistance traditions in Bahia and their confrontations with persecution and intolerance. The history of capoeira, which came from Angola, was persecuted and criminalized for decades, and later transformed into a national sport and spectacle. The maculelê, a warrior dance brought from Mozambique, accompanied by loud chanting. Finally, the candomblé terreiros - a mystical cry of rebellion.
