Mãe Bonifácia

Bonifácia, a young enslaved woman in 19th-century Brazil, hides her newborn son in the forest to save him from being sold. Her escape becomes more than a fight for survival; it sparks the creation of a whole community of fugitives — a quilombo. This 2026 historical drama explores not only the horrors of slavery but also the power of resistance, maternal love, and the dreams of freedom that forge a new culture. The film immerses the viewer in dense tropical forests where every sound may signal danger and every decision is a matter of life and death. Bonifácia's story is one of foundation, where personal tragedy transforms into collective hope.
