Rosinha and Other Wild Animals

Original title: Rosinha e Outros Bichos do Mato

Directed by Marta Pessoa

A film that scrutinizes the idea of “soft racism” and how it comes to drink from the exalted Portuguese colonialism. The titular Rosinha is a Guinean native who became the symbol of the first Portuguese colonial exhibition presented by the Estado Novo in 1934. A trip to the past to better understand the present.
