Black God, White Devil
Here’s my gun to stop the poor from starving
Directed by Glauber Rocha
Produced by Copacabana Filmes, Luiz Augusto Mendes Produções Cinematográficas
A visceral, politically charged descent into Brazil's violent sertão, where a fugitive couple becomes trapped in cycles of exploitation and spiritual manipulation.
Wanted for killing his boss, Manuel flees with his wife Rosa to the sertão, the barren landscape of Northern Brazil. Thrust into a primordial violent region, Manuel and Rosa come under the influence and control of a series of frightening figures.
