This short film delivers a powerful message against racism and structural xenophobia in northern Brazil, highlighting often-overlooked instances of discrimination in the Amazon. Inspired by the poem of Maria Luiza Nunes, a passionate Black advocate for a more aware society, it tells the story of Thiago Gomes, who transforms his despair into art through his music video “Eu Não Sou Bandido,” declaring, “Everyone will remember my name.”
