Pelourinho: They Don’t Really Care About Us (2019) is freely inspired by a letter in 1927 from Pan Africanist W.E.B. Du Bois to the American embassy in Brazil, this colorful film explores how it was impossible for African Americans to travel to Brazil through a series of vignettes and reminds us of the inequality still faced by that country’s black inhabitants. 　　"The starting point for this colourful film is a letter from human rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois to the American embassy in Brazil. The fact that in 1927 it was impossible for African Americans to travel to Brazil reminds us of the inequality still faced by that country’s black inhabitants." -- IFFR 　　Produced by Obibini Pictures LLC 　　Directed by Akosua Adoma Owusu 　　Cinematography by Akosua Adoma Owusu 　　Voice Over: Lais Machado & Augusto Soledade 　　Edited by Dylan Bowman 　　Sound Design & Mix: Kari Rae Seekins
