Vozes de Resiliência - A Jornada de Leide Bileski na Luta Contra a Poliomielite e a Paralisia Infantil

The documentary "Voices of Resilience" features subtitles in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and tells the moving story of Leide Bileski, a resident of Três Barras, Santa Catarina, whose life has been marked by the battle against polio and infantile paralysis.

The narrative weaves powerful memories and highlights the transformative power of vaccination, which is unfortunately on the decline throughout Brazil. It also addresses critical issues such as survival, dignity, and the role of society in supporting diversity and inclusion. "Voices of Resilience" is a tribute to the courage of those who turn adversity into strength, inspiring empathy and progress.

Director Statement

As a cinematographic director, I believe in the unique power of cinema to transform, question, and connect. Through the lens of the camera, I seek not only to record moments but also to capture the essence of stories that often remain invisible. Cinema is an art that transcends barriers and allows our emotions, thoughts, and cultures to be shared with the world.
