The Samba Within Me

A documentary about the life in the slum Mangueira, where the famous samba school is located. With just a few days to go before the carnival begins, it’s not violence and misery that takes centre stage, but the rhythm of the samba and the short, refreshing anecdotes about life and love that the residents of this district associate with this music.
