Aurora

João Vieira Torres

“It all starts with a dream in which I tell my mother that I am going to look for the hundreds of children that my grandmother, Aurora, a midwife and a healer, helped to bring to the world. The film follows the traces of Aurora’s ghost, from one encounter to another, with the living and with the dead, confronting the structural violence of gender and race embedded in Brazil’s historical genesis.” — João Vieira Torres
