Mamba Negra: The Sound and The Fury of São Paulo

Mamba Negra is a collective of artists/activists with a strong LGBT and feminist component, where rave culture and social resistance come together bringing to life vibrant and eclectic anti-establishment parties.

For many years, founders Carol and Laura have produced their events illegally, until they had to adjust to the increasing harshness of the local police and government. Nevertheless they have managed to create safe spaces for sexual and artistic freedom while producing widely respected parties and music.

The documentary takes us along the hypnotic spaces of São Paulo's underground scene, the streets of downtown filled by Carnival and the collective's headquarters, and through the intimate revelations of the collective's key members offers an insight into a group at the margins who strives to stitch together the open wounds of a society that tries to kill diversity.
