In response to the execution of Marielle Franco, the 2018 elections became the biggest political uprising led by black women that Brazil has ever seen, with candidates running in every state.
In Rio de Janeiro, Mônica Francisco, Rose Cipriano, Renata Souza, Jaqueline de Jesus, Tainá de Paula, and Talíria Petrone ran for state or federal deputies. The documentary follows these women in their campaigns, showing that it is possible to have a new way of doing politics in Brazil, transforming mourning into struggle.
