Brazil: African Americans in Brazil:

Like you kshareef, I am a black American female who aspires to live in Brazil one day. When I would ask the question of how blacks are treated in Brazil of both white and black Brazilians, the answers were usually different. I haven't gone to visit yet, but I must. Till then, I try to educate myself with films like the one Doondi69 mentioned by Dr. Henry Louis Gates on this topic. Also, there's a great documentary filmmaker ,Joel Zito Araujo, who is a black Brazilian, who makes films on this issue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Zito_Araújo His "Denying Brazil" on the history of black in brazilian soap operas (novelas) is excellent as is "Cinderellas, Wolves…" As a filmmaker, I would love to go to Brazil and work in the film and TV industry, but as a poster had commented, this will likely be much more challenging to do there than here in the U.S. I still have hope of doing this because the reality is the entertainment industry is challenging to achieve success in worldwide. Good luck to you and let me know what happens!
